Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
About our bath repair in Wildhern
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We are frequently asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wildhern as everywhere else we work.

What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Repairing versus replacing in Wildhern
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Colour-matched on site
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Signs you need bath repair in Wildhern
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Your questions about bath repair in Wildhern
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
