Bath repair in Wangford, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Wangford
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Landlord and trade work in Wangford
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When to call us in Wangford
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A chipped rim or side
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Typically one visit, start to finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
