What your bath is made of matters

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.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Bath repair in Willington without replacing anything

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Willington and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Your questions about bath repair in Willington

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Willington?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ME15 postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

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.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 typically the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Willington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Signs you need bath repair in Willington

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A cracked acrylic bath

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
