DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 typically the cheaper route.
How we handle bath repair in Welton
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can generally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Welton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Welton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

The process

- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Do you need bath repair in Welton?
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.
