Bath chip & crack repair in Yenston, Somerset
Bath repair in and around Yenston: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What we’re called out for in Yenston
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips under the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Aftercare advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
