Advice
Bath repair in Werneth, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips along the edge of the bath.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Do you need bath repair in Werneth?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
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. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Werneth questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
