Bath repair in Wiggens Green, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Wiggens Green
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Other services in Wiggens Green
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wiggens Green
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wiggens Green use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CB9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Repair or replace in Wiggens Green?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Repairs by material
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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
