Bath repair at your home in Widney Manor
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and 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. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can typically put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Widney Manor as everywhere else we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price

Widney Manor questions
Do you come to Widney Manor?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Widney Manor. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
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, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
