Bath repair in Well, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about chips under the taps and chips on the rim or sides.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Well
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Well. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Well
Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Well. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Common questions in Well
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
