How we handle bath repair in Whisby
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chipped rim or side.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Your questions about bath repair in Whisby
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Whisby
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

What we are called out for in Whisby
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips caused by builders
Before booking anyone
- How to care for the finish
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
