- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.

When to call us in Tarrant Monkton
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Landlord and trade work in Tarrant Monkton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tarrant Monkton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Tarrant Monkton, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
