For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in York and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wigginton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Bath repair in Wigginton without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and deep scratches in acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wigginton as everywhere else we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: 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. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What else we do in Wigginton
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Signs you need bath repair in Wigginton
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
Wigginton: your questions answered
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
