What we are called out for in Tongwell
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items

Bath repair in Tongwell, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips on the rim or sides, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common questions in Tongwell
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Landlord and trade work in Tongwell
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
