How we handle bath repair in West Chinnock
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
How to prepare

Related advice
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. 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’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Do you need bath repair in West Chinnock?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A chipped rim or side
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Chinnock as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common questions in West Chinnock
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Are there extra charges for West Chinnock?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you work in West Chinnock?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to West Chinnock. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Repairs by material
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
