Bath repair at your home in Wrington
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
FAQs for Wrington
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover the entire of Bath and North East Somerset?
All of Bath and North East Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wrington. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BS40 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
