Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Questions from Wroxall
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Wroxall. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wroxall
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wroxall use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
