How we handle bath repair in Worthington
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. You can generally use the bath the following day. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and chips under the taps, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Worthington?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Do you need bath repair in Worthington?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Before you book anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote.
Common questions in Worthington
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will I be able to see the 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.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
