Bath repair in Townfield, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about a chipped rim or side and rust spots around the plughole.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Townfield as everywhere else we work.

Repair or replace in Townfield?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Landlord and trade work in Townfield
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Your questions about bath repair in Townfield
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Repairs by material
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 happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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 quote, not a guess.
Advice
Signs you need bath repair in Townfield
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What else we do in Townfield
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
