Bath repair at your home in Hutton Wandesley
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the day after. If you’re dealing with chips caused by builders and damage beneath the taps, we can normally put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common problems we fix in Hutton Wandesley
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
Landlord and trade work in Hutton Wandesley
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What affects the price in Hutton Wandesley

- The type of damage

Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Questions from Hutton Wandesley
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
