For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Windy Arbour use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Bath repair at your home in Windy Arbour
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with impact holes in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Do you need bath repair in Windy Arbour?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips under the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Your questions about bath repair in Windy Arbour
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Wigan. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
