Bath repair in Timber Bush, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped rim or side and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Timber Bush, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Your questions about bath repair in Timber Bush
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
How much does bath repair cost in Timber Bush?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.

What we are called out for in Timber Bush
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
