What we are called out for in Tongland
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if they find more damage
Bath repair in Tongland without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about deep scratches in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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 day after.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

- Work done at your home or business

Tongland: your questions answered
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
