Your questions about bath repair in Tuddenham St Martin
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How we handle bath repair in Tuddenham St Martin
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and chips caused by builders, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tuddenham St Martin as everywhere else we work.

Common problems we fix in Tuddenham St Martin
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- How to care for the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
