Bath Repair for Waterrow homes
Bath repair in and around Waterrow: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Holes from dropped items
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Questions from Waterrow
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What areas do you cover?
All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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 typically cheaper.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Common problems we fix in Waterrow
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Customers typically contact us about:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
