Bath repair in Wotter without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. 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. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Wotter

Landlord and trade work in Wotter
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Plymouth and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Wotter questions
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you come to Wotter?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Wotter and the rest of Plymouth. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Repairs by material
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’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
When to call us in Wotter
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Wotter. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
