Bath repair at your home in Wokefield
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and holes from dropped items.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about bath repair in Wokefield
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across West Berkshire.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you come to Wokefield?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Wokefield. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Landlord and trade work in Wokefield
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Wokefield, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Repairing versus replacing in Wokefield
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Do you need bath repair in Wokefield?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips under the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
