Wensley: your questions answered
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you cover Wensley?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Wensley. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Bath repair in Wensley, done in place
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Wensley and across North Yorkshire.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wensley
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Common problems we fix in Wensley
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Wensley. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in Wensley and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
