How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Bath repair in Wingham, done in place

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and a cracked acrylic bath, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace in Wingham?

Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place

  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What we’re called out for in Wingham

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Wingham. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wingham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Wingham

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is there any odour?

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you cover Wingham?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Wingham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Landlord and trade work in Wingham

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
