About bath repair in TA12

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and chips under the taps.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Local landmarks in Martock

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

TA12 questions

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, TA12 included. There is no extra charge for travel.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
