Bath repair in Whitecairns without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and holes from dropped items.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Whitecairns
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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can

Whitecairns questions
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Other services in Whitecairns
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
If you manage property in Whitecairns, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
