Bath repair in Whelston without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We’re often asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and holes from dropped items, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Do you need bath repair in Whelston?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips on the rim or sides
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Whelston, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Whelston: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
