When to call us in Willian
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
- How to look after the finish
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What affects the price in Willian
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Willian. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SG6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Your questions about bath repair in Willian
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Willian
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
