Do you need bath repair in Somerford Booths?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
Bath repair at your home in Somerford Booths
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Somerford Booths as everywhere else we work.

Repairing versus replacing in Somerford Booths
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Somerford Booths questions
How much does bath repair cost in Somerford Booths?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
