About bath repair in TA1
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. You can usually use the bath the next day. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and deep scratches in acrylic.
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
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 a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Repair or replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Common problems we fix in TA1
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage beneath the taps
TA1 questions
How do I get a price for bath repair in TA1?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
