Bath repair in Whiston without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are holes from dropped items and a chipped rim or side.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Your questions about bath repair in Whiston
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whiston as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Do you need bath repair in Whiston?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Normally one visit, start to finish

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. 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.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
