Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we handle bath repair in Somerton
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common problems we fix in Somerton
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips on the rim or sides
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before booking
- How to look after the finish
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Common questions in Somerton
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Somerton.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
