About our bath repair in West Willoughby
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and damage beneath the taps, we can generally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

Common problems we fix in West Willoughby
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Common reasons people in West Willoughby contact us are:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chip where the taps sit
- Snagging damage from a refit

Repairs by material
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

What affects the price in West Willoughby
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
