How bath repair works in TR5

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy.

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

What it costs in TR5

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most customers in TR5 get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

How the damage happens

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Common reasons people in TR5 contact us include:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Landlord and trade work in TR5

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit.

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Aftercare advice
