Bath repair in Tupsley without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Tupsley: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Signs you need bath repair in Tupsley
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Look out for any of the following:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
