Common problems we fix in Tiln

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

How we handle bath repair in Tiln
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Tiln and across Nottinghamshire.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
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.

Tiln questions
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DN22 postcode.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- No extra charge for your area
- Everything repaired in place
- Work done at your home or business

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlord and trade work in Tiln
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
