Our bath repair service in TN9

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and chips under the taps.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What we’re called out for in TN9

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips under the taps
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

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

FAQs for TN9

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
