Need bath repair in Wildmill?

What affects the price in Wildmill

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

How we handle bath repair in Wildmill

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Do you need bath repair in Wildmill?

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Chips under the taps
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

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

Wildmill questions

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

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

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Wildmill. Prices do not change with location.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do you repair coloured baths?

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

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace: which is better?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
