How bath repair works in BA11
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: 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. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and rust by the waste and overflow, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Cost
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

- Everything repaired in place

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Signs you need bath repair
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including BA11. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
If you are in BA11 and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
BA11 questions
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover the whole of Somerset?
The whole UK, including all of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Are there extra charges for BA11?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
