Bath chip & crack repair in Tong, Shropshire
Fixed-price bath repair in Tong and the surrounding area, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Bath repair in Tong, done in place
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and holes from dropped items, we can usually put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Tong
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Tong. The price depends on:

- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Tong. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. 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.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
