Bath repair in Wistow, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We are often asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Wistow questions
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Wistow?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Do you work in Wistow?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Wistow. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairing versus replacing in Wistow
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Signs you need bath repair in Wistow
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. 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:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips under the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
