Bath repair at your home in Tankerton
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Repair or replace in Tankerton?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tankerton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Tankerton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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 the part we put right.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
