How bath repair works in TA4

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and scuffs and scratches in the surface.

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in TA4

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in TA4 as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How the damage happens

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps

Questions from TA4

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
