About our bath repair in Tidmarsh
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and chips under the taps, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Tidmarsh. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Tidmarsh customers choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One price list for the whole UK
- Fixed prices from your photos

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Landlord and trade work in Tidmarsh
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Tidmarsh questions
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your RG8 postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Do you need bath repair in Tidmarsh?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips under the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
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. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
