About our bath repair in Whinney Banks
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are rusty patches near the plughole and a hole punched through by something heavy.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Questions from Whinney Banks
Do you work in Whinney Banks?
We do. Technicians travel to Whinney Banks from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
