How bath repair works in TS27

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and chips caused by builders, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Pricing in TS27

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including TS27. What changes the price is:

Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The size and number of damaged areas
The type of damage
How easy the damage is to reach

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

What it’s made of, if you know
Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Questions from TS27

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
