About our bath repair in Talke Pits
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and rusty patches near the plughole.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace in Talke Pits?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price 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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Talke Pits. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Signs you need bath repair in Talke Pits
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Common questions in Talke Pits
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
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.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Are there extra charges for Talke Pits?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Talke Pits is covered. Prices do not change with location.
