Bath repair for Little Wratting homes

Bath repair at your home in Little Wratting

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 finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and a chip where the taps sit.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Little Wratting questions

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlord and trade work in Little Wratting

For anyone letting property in or around Little Wratting, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

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 early repairs matter.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

What affects the price in Little Wratting

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Little Wratting. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
