Bath repair in Tarbet without replacing anything
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can normally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Tarbet: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
When to call us in Tarbet
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tarbet use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repairing versus replacing in Tarbet
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 will tell you. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No extra charge for your area
- A fixed quote before you book
Take a look at our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
