Bath repair at your home in Old Whittington
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What else we do in Old Whittington
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Questions from Old Whittington
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Old Whittington is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
