All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Wilmslow

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

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.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What your bath is made of matters

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 the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Should you replace it?

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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wilmslow. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

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

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need bath repair in Wilmslow

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
