About our bath repair in Wellsborough

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and chips under the taps, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Wellsborough: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Wellsborough. Prices do not change with location.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

When to call us in Wellsborough

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Look out for these signs:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Choosing a repair company

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Repairs by material

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
