Bath repair in Weeley, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with rust spots around the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Weeley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we are called out for in Weeley
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Look out for these signs:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work
- What aftercare is recommended
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park

FAQs for Weeley
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Weeley?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Weeley. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are there extra charges for Weeley?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What affects the price in Weeley
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
