Bath repair in Yeovil Marsh without replacing anything

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or sides and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

FAQs for Yeovil Marsh

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

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.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Yeovil Marsh. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Yeovil Marsh, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

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.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Yeovil Marsh

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Yeovil Marsh as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
