- Repairs from £95

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Bath repair in West Hatch without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and damage beneath the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
West Hatch questions
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Somerset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Signs you need bath repair in West Hatch
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chip where the taps sit

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for West Hatch. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in West Hatch, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
