What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wentbridge

For anyone letting property in or around Wentbridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add 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.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Wentbridge

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

What we are called out for in Wentbridge

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage beneath the taps

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Wentbridge: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Wentbridge?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Wentbridge, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
