What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
About our bath repair in Wingerworth
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We are often asked to fix a chipped rim or side and damage beneath the taps, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Wingerworth
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Are there extra charges for Wingerworth?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Do you need bath repair in Wingerworth?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- Aftercare advice
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
