Trusted bath repair in Wilday Green

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic

About our bath repair in Wilday Green

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We are frequently asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wilday Green as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Questions from Wilday Green

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
