How we handle bath repair in Wheelock
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about chips along the edge of the bath and cracks in an acrylic bath.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Wheelock
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What we are called out for in Wheelock
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
Before booking anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For anyone letting property in or around Wheelock, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

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’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Your questions about bath repair in Wheelock
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
