About our bath repair in Wainhouse Corner
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with rust spots around the plughole and impact holes in acrylic, we can usually put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Your questions about bath repair in Wainhouse Corner
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your EX23 postcode.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What affects the price in Wainhouse Corner
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
