What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Bath repair in Whale Hill without replacing anything
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or sides and holes from dropped items.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Whale Hill and across Middlesbrough.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlord and trade work in Whale Hill
For anyone letting property in or around Whale Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Common questions in Whale Hill
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
