How we handle bath repair in Wash Common
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the next day. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and cracks in an acrylic bath, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
What affects the price in Wash Common
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
