Bath repair in Wythop Mill, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and damage beneath the taps, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Questions from Wythop Mill
Are there extra charges for Wythop Mill?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Repairing versus replacing in Wythop Mill
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wythop Mill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wythop Mill. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
