Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Whitecross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Whitecross
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or 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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Whitecross. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
