Your questions about bath repair in Wellswood
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we’re called out for in Wellswood
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

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. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Wellswood
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
