What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Do you need bath repair in Wheatley?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side

FAQs for Wheatley
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Are there extra charges for Wheatley?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wheatley as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
