About our bath repair in Wilmington
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused by builders and a chipped rim or side.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Wilmington. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Wilmington: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
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.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on

- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Advice
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Wilmington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
