Bath repair in Windhill, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Do you need bath repair in Windhill?
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

- Nothing taken out or refitted

FAQs for Windhill
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How much does bath repair cost in Windhill?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

What affects the price in Windhill
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
