How we handle bath repair in Whipton
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What we’re called out for in Whipton
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips on the rim or sides
