How we handle bath repair in Somerford Keynes
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, typically in a single visit. We are often asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and deep scratches in acrylic, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Look after 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. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What else we do in Somerford Keynes
What we’re called out for in Somerford Keynes
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
Landlords, agents and businesses in Somerford Keynes
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Somerford Keynes use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Questions from Somerford Keynes
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Somerford Keynes
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts 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.
