Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

When to call us in Wing

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Most customers in Wing get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Common questions in Wing

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover Wing?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wing for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wing

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
