How we handle bath repair in Wrelton
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 and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the day after. We are frequently asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we are called out for in Wrelton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A cracked acrylic bath

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.
- 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.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Wrelton questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Wrelton.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Wrelton, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
