Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
About our bath repair in Wootton
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for rusty patches near the plughole and damage beneath the taps, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we’re called out for in Wootton
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. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
