Bath repair for Wyther homes

Bath repair in Wyther without replacing anything

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can generally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A steel bath rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Wyther. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Wyther questions

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wyther. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

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 tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
