When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Bath repair in Tuckingmill without replacing anything
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. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tuckingmill as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Signs you need bath repair in Tuckingmill
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips under the taps
