DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Bath repair in Wendover Dean without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can generally put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not 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.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

FAQs for Wendover Dean
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Signs you need bath repair in Wendover Dean
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips under the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What affects the price in Wendover Dean
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
