Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Bath repair in Wherstead, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you’re dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips caused by builders, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Do you need bath repair in Wherstead?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Aftercare advice
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Questions from Wherstead
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Wherstead?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
