Bath repair at your home in Wigsley
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We are frequently asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Questions from Wigsley
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Are there extra charges for Wigsley?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Other services in Wigsley
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Do you need bath repair in Wigsley?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
