What affects the price in Whinfield
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Landlord and trade work in Whinfield
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

What else we do in Whinfield
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace in Whinfield?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Whinfield questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What areas do you cover?
All of Darlington, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
