How we handle bath repair in Great Wishford

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for a kit repair that didn’t last and rust by the waste and overflow, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

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.

How we price bath repair

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Great Wishford, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take 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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Questions from Great Wishford

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
