For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
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.
FAQs for Wolborough
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TQ12 postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What affects the price in Wolborough
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Wolborough. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most customers in Wolborough get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down 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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
