Bath repair in Wetmore without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include rust by the waste and overflow and damage beneath the taps, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Wetmore, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
FAQs for Wetmore
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you work in Wetmore?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Wetmore. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Shropshire.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Common problems we fix in Wetmore
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What affects the price in Wetmore
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Wetmore. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you are in Wetmore and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairing versus replacing in Wetmore
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Landlord and trade work in Wetmore
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wetmore as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
