How we handle bath repair in Wigmore
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and damage beneath the taps, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath repair in Wigmore
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What areas do you cover?
All of Herefordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
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.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Wigmore
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wigmore
For anyone letting property in or around Wigmore, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
