Bath repair at your home in WF7
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most often call us about deep scratches in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole.
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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 day after.
What it costs in WF7
Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common problems we fix in WF7
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Have new chips seen to early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Repair or replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you.
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Landlord and trade work in WF7
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around WF7, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
FAQs for WF7
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you cover WF7?
We do. We send a technician to WF7 for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
