Bath repair in Whiston, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about a cracked acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Different materials, different repairs
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 the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What else we do in Whiston
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Whiston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
When to call us in Whiston
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Holes from dropped items
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

FAQs for Whiston
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Northamptonshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
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.
