Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Bath repair at your home in Tincleton
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We are frequently asked to fix chips under the taps and rusty patches near the plughole, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tincleton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Tincleton clients choose us
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Your questions about bath repair in Tincleton
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you come to Tincleton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Tincleton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
