About bath repair in WF10
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chipped rim or side, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Prices in WF10
Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Signs you need bath repair
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
