Landlord and trade work in Tin Town
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Your questions about bath repair in Tin Town
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover the entire of Luton?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Do you come to Tin Town?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tin Town for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

What else we do in Tin Town
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Common problems we fix in Tin Town
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
