For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wharton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Wharton
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about bath repair in Wharton
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

What affects the price in Wharton
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Wharton. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wharton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
