  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

Bath repair at your home in Willesborough

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. We are frequently asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and cracks in an acrylic bath, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are 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. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A fixed quote before you book

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Willesborough questions

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

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