DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How we handle bath repair in Wimboldsley
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and chips caused by builders, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Wimboldsley
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Landlord and trade work in Wimboldsley
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Repair or replace in Wimboldsley?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common problems we fix in Wimboldsley
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Before booking anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
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 what we repair.
