Bath repair at your home in Writhlington

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. If you’re dealing with rust spots around the plughole and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

Repair or replace in Writhlington?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Writhlington

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in Writhlington

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

When can I have a bath again?

Typically within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Do you work in Writhlington?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Writhlington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

How we price bath repair

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Do you need bath repair in Writhlington?

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.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
