Bath Repair for Wothorpe homes
Damaged bath in Wothorpe? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Bath repair in Wothorpe, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair

- Pressed steel enamel

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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wothorpe
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price

Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
