Bath Repair in Tansterne
We travel to Tansterne for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped rim or side
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Common problems we fix in Tansterne
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Bath repair in Tansterne without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Tansterne
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Tansterne
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you come to Tansterne?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tansterne for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Tansterne. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tansterne
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
