Waverton questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

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.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Bath repair at your home in Waverton

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We are often asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and a cracked acrylic bath, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Waverton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Waverton

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

Landlord and trade work in Waverton

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CH3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Do you need bath repair in Waverton?

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
