Bath repair in Turnchapel, done in place
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or sides and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Also in Turnchapel
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What affects the price in Turnchapel
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Turnchapel. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
If you’re in Turnchapel and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Your questions about bath repair in Turnchapel
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
What we’re called out for in Turnchapel
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.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to look after the finish
Landlords, agents and businesses in Turnchapel
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why Turnchapel clients choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Same prices wherever you are
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
