How we handle bath repair in Wath
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. If you are dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Questions from Wath
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Are there extra charges for Wath?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Wath is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

When to call us in Wath
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Snagging damage from a refit
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and 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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
