Bath repair near Wildsworth

Bath repair in Wildsworth without replacing anything

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. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Wildsworth

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wildsworth

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Repair or replace in Wildsworth?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Questions from Wildsworth

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Do you cover Wildsworth?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Wildsworth and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

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

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
