About our bath repair in Whetstone

Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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 pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your N12 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- 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. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whetstone use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Common questions in Whetstone
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Whetstone and the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
