Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
About our bath repair in Tonge Corner
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We’re often asked to fix chips caused by builders and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tonge Corner as everywhere else we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Tonge Corner, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Tonge Corner
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
