How we handle bath repair in Withywood

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, typically in a single visit. If you are dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Questions from Withywood

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Withywood included. Travel is included in the price.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Do you work in Withywood?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Withywood. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a bath repair permanent?

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair can’t 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
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

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

Materials we work on in Withywood

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Signs you need bath repair in Withywood

Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Common reasons people in Withywood contact us include:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A cracked acrylic bath

How to compare quotes

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  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 following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
