Wayford questions

Do you come to Wayford?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Wayford. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

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.

About our bath repair in Wayford

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and damage beneath the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Wayford. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Do you need bath repair in Wayford?

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips caused by builders

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Wayford

  • Whirlpool & spa baths

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
