Repairs by material
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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Bath repair in Wiggins Hill without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and chips on the rim or sides, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Questions from Wiggins Hill
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do you work in Wiggins Hill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wiggins Hill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
When to call us in Wiggins Hill
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wiggins Hill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
