Repair or replace in North Whilborough?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
What we are called out for in North Whilborough
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Common reasons people in North Whilborough contact us are:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides

FAQs for North Whilborough
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, North Whilborough included. Travel is included in the price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including North Whilborough. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TQ12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
