You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Wymington

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairing versus replacing in Little Wymington

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

When to call us in Little Wymington

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

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 will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

FAQs for Little Wymington

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
