Bath repair at your home in Whaplode
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about chips along the edge of the bath and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Whaplode as everywhere else we work.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What else we do in Whaplode
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whaplode as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Whaplode: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
