Bath repair at your home in Tiptoe

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Tiptoe and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Tiptoe

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

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tiptoe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Tiptoe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Repairing versus replacing in Tiptoe

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Tiptoe: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do you cover Tiptoe?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Tiptoe. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

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 price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Tiptoe, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
