DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wappenham

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Wappenham: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

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

How do I get a price for bath repair in Wappenham?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Wappenham clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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