Bath repair in Whiteclosegate, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We’re frequently asked to fix a chip where the taps sit and chips on the rim or sides, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
FAQs for Whiteclosegate
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you work in Whiteclosegate?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Whiteclosegate for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What affects the price in Whiteclosegate
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Whiteclosegate. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add 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.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
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.
Common problems we fix in Whiteclosegate
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Common reasons people in Whiteclosegate contact us include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
