Bath repair at your home in Wistow
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We’re frequently asked to fix a chipped rim or side and rust by the waste and overflow, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wistow. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
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, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
FAQs for Wistow
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work in Wistow?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Wistow. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
For a price in Wistow, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What we’re called out for in Wistow
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
