Bath repair in Willington, done in place
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and rust by the waste and overflow, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through

FAQs for Willington
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Willington included. Travel is included in the price.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Do you need bath repair in Willington?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day

- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Willington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairing versus replacing in Willington
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Willington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
