Bath repair near Winthorpe

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Bath repair at your home in Winthorpe

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most often call us about rust spots around the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

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 early repairs matter.

When to call us in Winthorpe

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
