Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
How we handle bath repair in Whatton-in-the-Vale
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Whatton-in-the-Vale as everywhere else we work.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Questions from Whatton-in-the-Vale
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
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.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work in Whatton-in-the-Vale?
We do. We send a technician to Whatton-in-the-Vale for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
When to call us in Whatton-in-the-Vale
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Holes from dropped items
- A chip where the taps sit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- 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 next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
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.
