About our bath repair in Billington
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Billington
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Have new chips seen to early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Impact holes in acrylic

- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Questions from Billington
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How much does bath repair cost in Billington?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
