Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Questions from Over Whitacre
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you cover the whole of Warwickshire?
All of Warwickshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price

Advice
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
