About our bath repair in Tong
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Tong
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tong. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
If you are in Tong and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tong
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry

Tong: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Tong.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repair or replace in Tong?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
