Bath repair for Wildridings homes

How we handle bath repair in Wildridings

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, we can generally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Wildridings

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Wildridings.

Common problems we fix in Wildridings

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the rim or sides

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

If you’re in Wildridings and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wildridings

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wildridings use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
