Bath Repair for Slape Cross homes
Local bath repair for Slape Cross: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
Bath repair in Slape Cross without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We’re frequently asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and holes from dropped items, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on

Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Slape Cross. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Slape Cross: your questions answered

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
