Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Bath repair at your home in Whitecroft

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about rusty patches near the plughole and impact holes in acrylic.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Whitecroft

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Do you come to Whitecroft?

We do. Technicians travel to Whitecroft from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

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.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Whitecroft

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When to call us in Whitecroft

A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • A chip where the taps sit

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Whitecroft

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
