FAQs for Windle

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

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WA10 postcode.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Bath repair at your home in Windle

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can normally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Should you replace it?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Windle, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Signs you need bath repair in Windle

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips under the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rust spots around the plughole
