Bath repair across TN27: what to expect

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 repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and snagging damage from a refit, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

On the day, 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 clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Signs you need bath repair

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Damage beneath the taps

Repair or replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that.

Comparing quotes

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

What affects the price in TN27

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for TN27. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about bath repair in TN27

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is repairing better 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.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
