Bath repair in Wellwood

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Wellwood

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Read our pricing and bath cost comparison.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Your questions about bath repair in Wellwood

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a bath repair permanent?

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

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Do you need bath repair in Wellwood?

A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.

Look out for these signs:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
