How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry

About our bath repair in Wharton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the following day. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or sides and a chip where the taps sit.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Wharton questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Wharton. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Signs you need bath repair in Wharton
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
