How we handle bath repair in Town Row

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Questions from Town Row

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you come to Town Row?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Town Row. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When to call us in Town Row

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Town Row

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What affects the price in Town Row

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Town Row. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

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

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t 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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Town Row, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Town Row use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
