How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Winestead. What changes the price is:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

FAQs for Winestead
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
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.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
When to call us in Winestead
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
