How we handle bath repair in Tillydrone
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and chips caused by builders, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

- Holes from dropped items
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Questions from Tillydrone
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Tillydrone is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
For a price in Tillydrone, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Tillydrone. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace in Tillydrone?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
