Advice
Bath repair at your home in Wingates
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and a kit repair that didn’t last.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
