Trusted bath repair in Timble

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Timble. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Bath repair in Timble without replacing anything

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include snagging damage from a refit and cracks in an acrylic bath, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Timble

Repair or replace: which is better?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Do you work in Timble?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Timble from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

What we’re called out for in Timble

A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Chips caused by builders

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
