Bath Repair for Wiveliscombe homes
Local bath repair for Wiveliscombe: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
About our bath repair in Wiveliscombe
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about a chip where the taps sit and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Wiveliscombe and across Somerset.

Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Wiveliscombe, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Wiveliscombe: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Signs you need bath repair in Wiveliscombe
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
