How we handle bath repair in Winlaton Mill
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are damage beneath the taps and snagging damage from a refit.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Your questions about bath repair in Winlaton Mill
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work in Winlaton Mill?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Winlaton Mill. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- 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
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What affects the price in Winlaton Mill
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
