Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Bath repair in Lower Willingdon, done in place

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about chips under the taps and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, 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.

Lower Willingdon questions

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
