How bath repair works in WF5

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We’re often asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and a cracked acrylic bath, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

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 usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

What it costs in WF5

What affects the price in WF5

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How the damage happens

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

Can you redo someone else’s repair?
