Bath repair in Wistow, done in place
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage from a refit and a hole punched through by something heavy.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why Wistow clients choose us
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
What affects the price in Wistow
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Your questions about bath repair in Wistow
Do you repair coloured baths?

Which areas do you work in?

Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Signs you need bath repair in Wistow
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wistow
For anyone letting property in or around Wistow, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

- Pressed steel enamel
