What affects the price in Wardhill
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Bath repair in Wardhill without replacing anything
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and holes from dropped items.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Wardhill
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are there extra charges for Wardhill?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

- Chips caused by builders
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
