Bath Repair for Whetsted homes
Our repair technicians come to Whetsted for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
How we handle bath repair in Whetsted
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most often call us about rust by the waste and overflow and chips along the edge of the bath.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Whetsted and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Whetsted
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Questions from Whetsted
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Whetsted. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Whetsted?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage

What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Whetsted
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
