Bath repair in Wormley without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and a cracked acrylic bath, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Signs you need bath repair in Wormley
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before you book
- How to care for the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Landlord and trade work in Wormley
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Wormley: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

- 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 mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
