Bath Repair for Wighton homes
Problem with your bath in Wighton? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A hole punched through by something heavy
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
How we handle bath repair in Wighton
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and impact holes in acrylic, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Questions from Wighton
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you come to Wighton?
We do. We send a technician to Wighton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wighton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Common problems we fix in Wighton
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if they find more damage
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Wighton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: 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. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
