Bath repair in Wedge's Mills

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there. For a rural address like Wedge's Mills, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the bath repair, so there is no second trip.

  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. 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.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. In an older home in a village like Wedge's Mills, replacing a bath can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.

Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common problems we fix in Wedge's Mills

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Common questions in Wedge's Mills

Do you cover villages like Wedge's Mills?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Can you fix baths in a rental near Cannock station?

Yes, rental work is a big part of what we do.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 typically cheaper.
