We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Tarrant Gunville
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Tarrant Gunville questions
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tarrant Gunville
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
