Bath Repair for Tattingstone White Horse homes
Damaged bath in Tattingstone White Horse? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
About our bath repair in Tattingstone White Horse
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Tattingstone White Horse
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Do you need bath repair in Tattingstone White Horse?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Holes from dropped items
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A chipped rim or side

- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Tattingstone White Horse: your questions answered
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
