Bath repair at your home in TN36
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We are frequently asked to fix a chip where the taps sit and a chipped rim or side, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath repair
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Repairing versus replacing
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place.
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
TN36: your questions answered

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in TN36.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
