Twigworth questions
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Twigworth?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Bath repair in Twigworth, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and chips caused by builders, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
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.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Twigworth, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in Twigworth
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price

Repairing versus replacing in Twigworth
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
