Bath Repair in Taddiport
Local bath repair for Taddiport: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Bath repair at your home in Taddiport
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and chips on the rim or sides, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can

Do you need bath repair in Taddiport?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chip where the taps sit

Taddiport: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
