How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Bath repair in Wilthorpe, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We are often asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and rusty patches near the plughole, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What else we do in Wilthorpe
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Questions from Wilthorpe
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do you cover Wilthorpe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wilthorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilthorpe
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wilthorpe as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
When to call us in Wilthorpe
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
