About our bath repair in Townsend
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and a kit repair that didn’t last, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace in Townsend?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Townsend
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Townsend. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, 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.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Signs you need bath repair in Townsend
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
