How we handle bath repair in Wardour

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath repair in Wardour

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Wardour. Prices do not change with location.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Repairing versus replacing in Wardour

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Wardour clients choose us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area

What we’re called out for in Wardour

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Snagging damage from a refit

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Wardour, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wardour

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wardour as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
