Bath repair in Winsham, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about holes from dropped items and rusty patches near the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What affects the price in Winsham
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repair or replace in Winsham?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Winsham questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Winsham?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your TA20 postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Common problems we fix in Winsham
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
