Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Do you need bath repair in Weycroft?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Common reasons people in Weycroft contact us are:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Weycroft questions
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Should you replace it?
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. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Weycroft, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
