Bath repair at your home in Widdrington
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix a chipped rim or side and holes from dropped items, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repair or replace in Widdrington?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Common problems we fix in Widdrington
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What else we do in Widdrington
Your questions about bath repair in Widdrington
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Widdrington included. Travel is included in the price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
