How we handle bath repair in Tingwall
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath.

FAQs for Tingwall
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do the materials smell?

When to call us in Tingwall

People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
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.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Tingwall. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
If you’re in Tingwall and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tingwall as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
