Bath chip & crack repair in Welford-on-Avon, Warwickshire
Bath repair in and around Welford-on-Avon: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips under the taps
- Chips caused by builders
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
About our bath repair in Welford-on-Avon
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and holes from dropped items, we can generally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Welford-on-Avon: your questions answered
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Welford-on-Avon?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Other services in Welford-on-Avon
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

- A kit repair that didn’t last
