Bath repair across TA19: what to expect
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and rust spots around the plughole, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
What it costs in TA19
Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why choose Surface Doctor
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- A year’s guarantee on all work
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Local landmarks in Ilminster
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Dillington House, The Crown Inn and Greenfylde Church of England First School and the streets around them. Nearby you’ll also find Crewkerne Castle (4.6 miles south-east) and Chard Community Hospital (4 miles south-west).
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Repairing versus replacing
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit.
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- If travel is included in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
TA19 questions
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Somerset.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Do you work in TA19?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to TA19. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
