Bath repair for Whiston Cross homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Bath repair at your home in Whiston Cross

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the day after. We are often asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Your questions about bath repair in Whiston Cross

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Whiston Cross?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your WV7 postcode.

Do you come to Whiston Cross?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Whiston Cross and the rest of Shropshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Whiston Cross is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Whiston Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Same prices wherever you are

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
