Questions from Wivelrod
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Bath repair in Wivelrod without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What else we do in Wivelrod
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse it down after each bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wivelrod. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Do you need bath repair in Wivelrod?
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.
Common reasons people in Wivelrod contact us include:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
