Bath repair in Whaplode Drove, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can generally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

When to call us in Whaplode Drove
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A kit repair that didn’t last

- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
Repairing versus replacing in Whaplode Drove
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Whaplode Drove. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- One price list for the entire UK
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Rooms protected and left tidy

What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Whaplode Drove
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
