Bath chip & crack repair in West Town, Somerset
We travel to West Town for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
About our bath repair in West Town
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for West Town. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath repair in West Town
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
FAQs for West Town
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: 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.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
