About our bath repair in Waddicar
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the following day. If you’re dealing with a chipped rim or side and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Waddicar. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
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 getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Waddicar. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- No need to remove anything
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Waddicar

Common problems we fix in Waddicar
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- A kit repair that didn’t last

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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.
