About bath repair in TA21

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and a cracked acrylic bath, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

How the damage happens

Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. 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, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What affects the price in TA21

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to TA21. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

TA21: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
