Bath repair in Tatling End, done in place

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and rusty patches near the plughole.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

Your questions about bath repair in Tatling End

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Tatling End. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When to call us in Tatling End

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A chip where the taps sit
