Landlord and trade work in Whepstead
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Whepstead, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Bath repair in Whepstead, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and deep scratches in acrylic, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common questions in Whepstead
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How much does bath repair cost in Whepstead?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are there extra charges for Whepstead?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Whepstead. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
