What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Wasbister. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Do you need bath repair in Wasbister?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Holes from dropped items
- A chip where the taps sit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Repair or replace in Wasbister?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

The process
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, 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.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry

What else we do in Wasbister
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
