What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CO5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Little Wigborough: your questions answered

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

How much does bath repair cost in Little Wigborough?

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

How long does the repair take to cure?

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

Do you cover Little Wigborough?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Little Wigborough. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What we’re called out for in Little Wigborough

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Look out for these signs:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Little Wigborough. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Little Wigborough, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, 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 normally the cheaper route.
