Bath repair at your home in TF4
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We’re frequently asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What affects the price in TF4
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for TF4. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
If you’re in TF4 and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Common problems we fix in TF4
Rust normally 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’re called about are:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
TF4 questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you come to TF4?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to TF4. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will the repair show?
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.
What areas do you cover?
All of Telford and Wrekin, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
