Bath repair in Wangford, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Questions from Wangford
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Wangford.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Repairing versus replacing in Wangford
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP27 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repairs by material
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’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
