How we handle bath repair in Willaston

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. You can typically use the bath the next day. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and holes from dropped items, we can help, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.

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

What affects the price in Willaston

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Willaston. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CW5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

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.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A steel bath rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in Willaston?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Willaston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Willaston customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the whole UK

Willaston questions

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
