How we handle bath repair in Waddington
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked acrylic bath and a chip where the taps sit.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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 what we repair.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Waddington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Waddington
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What else we do in Waddington
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
For anyone letting property in or around Waddington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Questions from Waddington
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
