Landlord and trade work in Wymering
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wymering as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
About our bath repair in Wymering
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. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and chips under the taps, we can usually put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Signs you need bath repair in Wymering
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A cracked acrylic bath

Repair or replace in Wymering?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Common questions in Wymering
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Wymering. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PO6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
