Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Wilcove, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
If you’re in Wilcove and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How we handle bath repair in Wilcove
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Should I try a DIY kit 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, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Do you need bath repair in Wilcove?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One visit for most repairs
- Same prices wherever you are

Wilcove: your questions answered
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What else we do in Wilcove
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
