What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Bath repair in Wolsingham without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the following day. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about rust by the waste and overflow and chips under the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wolsingham
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Signs you need bath repair in Wolsingham
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DL13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Your questions about bath repair in Wolsingham
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
