About our bath repair in Wolverstone
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and damage beneath the taps, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Questions from Wolverstone
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How much does bath repair cost in Wolverstone?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX14 postcode.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- 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 day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for 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 reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Wolverstone, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Wolverstone, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
