What we are called out for in South Wheatley
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Holes from dropped items
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit

Repair or replace in South Wheatley?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why South Wheatley customers choose us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Landlord and trade work in South Wheatley
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
FAQs for South Wheatley

Do you work in South Wheatley?

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
