About our bath repair in Welch Whittle
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and deep scratches in acrylic, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Welch Whittle. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Welch Whittle
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Repairing versus replacing in Welch Whittle
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Welch Whittle: your questions answered
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Welch Whittle?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you work in Welch Whittle?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Welch Whittle for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What we’re called out for in Welch Whittle
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- 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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
