Bath repair in Wargate

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How we handle bath repair in Wargate

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and chips along the edge of the bath, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

FAQs for Wargate

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wargate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Do you need bath repair in Wargate?

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
