About our bath repair in Wormelow Tump
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repairing versus replacing in Wormelow Tump
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Common problems we fix in Wormelow Tump
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Look out for any of the following:
- Snagging damage from a refit

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
