What affects the price in Willingham by Stow

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t 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.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  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 day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
