Bath repair across TR10: what to expect

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

What affects the price in TR10

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit.

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Common problems we fix in TR10

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Snagging damage from a refit

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
