Bath repair for Wick homes

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Bath repair in Wick without replacing anything

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you’re dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Wick

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

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 what we repair.

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything

Common questions in Wick

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Wick?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

When can I have a bath again?

Usually the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
