What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we handle bath repair in White Cross
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips under the taps, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Repairing versus replacing in White Cross
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- No need to remove anything
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
White Cross: your questions answered
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in White Cross.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How do I get a price for bath repair in White Cross?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What we’re called out for in White Cross
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Landlord and trade work in White Cross
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
