Bath repair near Tilford

Bath repair in Tilford, done in place

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. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and damage beneath the taps, we can help, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A steel bath rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Tilford

Signs you need bath repair in Tilford

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before booking

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Tilford. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any details about the material

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Tilford, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. 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.
