What we’re called out for in Somerford
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Repair or replace in Somerford?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Somerford: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is

- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BH23 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
