Bath repair in Wentworth, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Do you need bath repair in Wentworth?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Clients generally contact us about:

Questions from Wentworth
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Wentworth?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wentworth as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Wentworth
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wentworth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
