The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Your questions about bath repair in Waverton
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Waverton included. Travel is included in the price.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
What your bath is made of matters
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 the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When to call us in Waverton
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Aftercare advice
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Repairing versus replacing in Waverton
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. 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. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually 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.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
