How we handle bath repair in Wigmore
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and a kit repair that didn’t last, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What else we do in Wigmore
What affects the price in Wigmore
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Wigmore
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips caused by builders
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Same prices wherever you are

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common questions in Wigmore
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How much does bath repair cost in Wigmore?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your LU2 postcode.
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)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
