Signs you need bath repair in Silk Willoughby

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Silk Willoughby: your questions answered

Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?

The entire UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your NG34 postcode.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you cover Silk Willoughby?

We do. We send a technician to Silk Willoughby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Silk Willoughby, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Why repair rather than replace?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Silk Willoughby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
