Bath repair near Wimbish Green

Bath repair at your home in Wimbish Green

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the following day. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Bath enamel chip by the waste, filled and colour matched (before and after)

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CB10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Wimbish Green questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you need bath repair in Wimbish Green?

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips under the taps

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Wimbish Green

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wimbish Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
