Bath repair in Wellow

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Wellow

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic

How we handle bath repair in Wellow

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and damage beneath the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Questions from Wellow

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is my repair covered?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long before I can use the bath?

Generally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Wellow, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

What affects the price in Wellow

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NG22 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
