Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Same prices wherever you are
- Everything repaired in place
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Bath repair in Wesley End without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with chips under the taps and holes from dropped items, we can help, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

When to call us in Wesley End
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Comparing quotes
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Landlord and trade work in Wesley End
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Wesley End
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
Most customers in Wesley End get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Wesley End questions
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
