Common problems we fix in Lower Whitley
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Lower Whitley. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
- Store metal items away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Common questions in Lower Whitley
Will the repair show?
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.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
