About bath repair in TN39

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in TN39

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Common problems we fix in TN39

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
