Bath repair at your home in Tringford
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the day after. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and a chipped rim or side, we can normally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What we’re called out for in Tringford
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.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- Snagging damage from a refit

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
