Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Wainfelin: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Wainfelin?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Is there any odour?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

How much does bath repair cost in Wainfelin?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NP4 postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Repairing versus replacing in Wainfelin

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need bath repair in Wainfelin?

Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.
