DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
About our bath repair in Winch Wen
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We’re often asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Winch Wen as everywhere else we work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What else we do in Winch Wen
For landlords and businesses
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Winch Wen use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Common questions in Winch Wen
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How invisible is a bath 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.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
