Bath Repair for Tranch homes
Our technicians come to Tranch for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Holes from dropped items
How the visit works
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 a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How we handle bath repair in Tranch
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are chips under the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Other services in Tranch
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Your questions about bath repair in Tranch
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Repair or replace in Tranch?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tranch. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Same prices wherever you are
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you need bath repair in Tranch?
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
