When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic

FAQs for Whitchurch

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Whitchurch?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitchurch

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Whitchurch?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
