Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Bath repair in Welburn, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We are often asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Welburn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
Most customers in Welburn get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Welburn
Welburn questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Welburn?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we’re called out for in Welburn
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
Repair or replace in Welburn?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
