Common problems we fix in Torbryan
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Questions from Torbryan
How do I get a price for bath repair in Torbryan?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Torbryan. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What affects the price in Torbryan
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
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.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
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 typically the cheaper route.
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.
