Bath repair for Tixall homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Bath repair in Tixall, done in place

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 one visit. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and rust spots around the plughole, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Store metal items away from the bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Tixall

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When can I have a bath again?

Typically the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Tixall

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Do you need bath repair in Tixall?

Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice
