Bath repair in Wheddon Cross, done in place
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Take a look at our full price list and bath cost comparison.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. 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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Wheddon Cross
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Landlord and trade work in Wheddon Cross
If you manage property in Wheddon Cross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
FAQs for Wheddon Cross
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
