How bath repair works in TR1
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a hole punched through by something heavy, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Signs you need bath repair
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Common reasons people in TR1 contact us are:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
Repairs by material
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.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
