FAQs for Wiston

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Are there extra charges for Wiston?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Are you accredited?

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

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How we handle bath repair in Wiston

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. We’re frequently asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and a hole punched through by something heavy, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. We don’t 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.

Why Wiston clients choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos

What we are called out for in Wiston

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Our hiring checklist

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
