Bath repair for Tingrith homes

Bath repair in Tingrith without replacing anything

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tingrith

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Tingrith: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Tingrith

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Read our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

What it costs 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 booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
