Bath repair at your home in Talley
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and chips along the edge of the bath, we can typically put it right, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

When to call us in Talley
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders

What your quote should include

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Repairing versus replacing in Talley
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, 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.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Work done at your home or business
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Talley: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Are there extra charges for Talley?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
