Our repair technicians come to West Lydford for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Bath repair in West Lydford without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are deep scratches in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

Your questions about bath repair in West Lydford
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you work in West Lydford?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to West Lydford and the rest of Somerset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, West Lydford included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

- A year’s guarantee on all work

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Lydford
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
