Bath repair in Widmore without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can typically put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Common problems we fix in Widmore
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips under the taps

Widmore: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Widmore. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
