Bath repair in Weare Giffard, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about rusty patches near the plughole and damage beneath the taps.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Weare Giffard
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Weare Giffard, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Signs you need bath repair in Weare Giffard
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Aftercare advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
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.
