DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about bath repair in Willingham
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
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.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- Generally one visit, start to finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Nothing taken out or refitted

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 regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NR34 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
