Bath repair in Tir-Nest without replacing anything
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you are dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tir-Nest as everywhere else we work.

Questions from Tir-Nest
Are there extra charges for Tir-Nest?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common problems we fix in Tir-Nest
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Common reasons people in Tir-Nest contact us include:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Tir-Nest, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
