Bath repair for Wawne homes

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Bath repair in Wawne without replacing anything

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we’re called out for in Wawne

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Chips under the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hull and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

FAQs for Wawne

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
