Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Bath repair at your home in Tewin Wood
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or sides and chips caused by builders, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we’re called out for in Tewin Wood
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Holes from dropped items
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
Tewin Wood questions
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
