What we are called out for in Tayport
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips under the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Holes from dropped items

How we handle bath repair in Tayport
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the next day. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and holes from dropped items.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Tayport. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace in Tayport?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why book with us

Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Tayport
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
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.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Tayport?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tayport for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
