About our bath repair in West Wratting
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a cracked acrylic bath.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in West Wratting
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, West Wratting included. Travel is included in the price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you need bath repair in West Wratting?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chipped rim or side
- Snagging damage from a refit
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
