Bath repair in Whitefield without replacing anything

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Whitefield

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

Signs you need bath repair in Whitefield

A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A chipped rim or side
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Whitefield

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
