Bath repair across Somerby and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Bath repair at your home in Somerby
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 next day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a chipped rim or side and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Somerby
For anyone letting property in or around Somerby, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chipped rim or side

Common questions in Somerby
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
