Questions from Wilkieston
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
About our bath repair in Wilkieston
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about rust spots around the plughole and impact holes in acrylic.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
When to call us in Wilkieston
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
