Bath repair in Wilden without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Signs you need bath repair in Wilden
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, 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.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What else we do in Wilden
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

FAQs for Wilden
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How much does bath repair cost in Wilden?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
