How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access

Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Wigmore, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
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.
Your questions about bath repair in Wigmore
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Signs you need bath repair in Wigmore
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
