What we are called out for in Wilney Green
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage beneath the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Bath repair at your home in Wilney Green
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Wilney Green and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Wilney Green
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Wilney Green.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Wilney Green?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Wilney Green, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
