Bath repair at your home in Tickham
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and holes from dropped items, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
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. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tickham. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tickham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Most customers in Tickham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Related advice
Repair or replace in Tickham?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One price list for the entire UK
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

FAQs for Tickham
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
