How we handle bath repair in Windmill Hill
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We’re often asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Questions from Windmill Hill
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Windmill Hill
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Do you need bath repair in Windmill Hill?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
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 normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
