Bath repair for Wrangle homes

Common problems we fix in Wrangle

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Bath repair in Wrangle without replacing anything

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wrangle as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Wrangle

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you work in Wrangle?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wrangle for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Wrangle, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wrangle

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wrangle. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
