Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
About our bath repair in Whatfield
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. You can typically use the bath the following day. We are often asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and holes from dropped items, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whatfield
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Whatfield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

What affects the price in Whatfield
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
