How we handle bath repair in Tottleworth

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a kit repair that didn’t last.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Questions from Tottleworth

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your BB1 postcode.

Why repair rather than replace?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common problems we fix in Tottleworth

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items

10 questions to ask before you book

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Tottleworth. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Tottleworth, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
