Bath repair in Tebworth without replacing anything
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Tebworth
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover Tebworth?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Tebworth. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tebworth
If you manage property in Tebworth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tebworth use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tebworth. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tebworth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When to call us in Tebworth
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
