Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and rusty patches near the plughole, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

Your questions about bath repair in Taunton
Are there extra charges for Taunton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How much does bath repair cost in Taunton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Repairing versus replacing in Taunton
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Taunton. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Do you need bath repair in Taunton?
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
