Bath repair in Wetheral without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Wetheral
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy

The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Wetheral questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How much does bath repair cost in Wetheral?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
