How bath repair works in TN30

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. Typical jobs include snagging damage from a refit and chips along the edge of the bath, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.

What it costs in TN30

Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What we’re called out for in TN30

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

Chips on the rim or sides
Chips caused by builders
An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Cracks in an acrylic bath

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

Any earlier repairs that need removing first
How much damage there is
Where the damage is and how we get to it
What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

A photo taken from further back
The material, if you know it
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Metal that has corroded all the way through
A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
