Bath Repair for Terhill homes
Bath repair in Terhill without the cost of replacing. Send us photos for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Bath repair at your home in Terhill
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and deep scratches in acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What else we do in Terhill
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
FAQs for Terhill
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Common problems we fix in Terhill
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips under the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- 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 pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
