Bath repair for Winkburn homes

Bath repair in Winkburn without replacing anything

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and chips caused by builders.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Winkburn

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.

When can I have a bath again?

Typically within a day, depending on the repair.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

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

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Winkburn is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site

How the visit works

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 two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NG22 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How to compare quotes

How we price bath repair

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

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Winkburn as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

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.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
