How we handle bath repair in Teffont Magna
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and a cracked acrylic bath.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Questions from Teffont Magna
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
