Bath repair at your home in West Witton
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Witton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.

Signs you need bath repair in West Witton
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
