Your questions about bath repair in Wheatcroft
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How we handle bath repair in Wheatcroft
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Wheatcroft and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we are called out for in Wheatcroft
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Repair or replace in Wheatcroft?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
