About our bath repair in Tudhoe
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and rust by the waste and overflow, we can usually put it right, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
