About our bath repair in Wyken

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. 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. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

FAQs for Wyken

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

How much does bath repair cost in Wyken?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wyken. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

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

What we work on

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

When to call us in Wyken

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
