Bath repair at your home in Whitegate
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the day after. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Signs you need bath repair in Whitegate
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Whitegate customers choose us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Questions from Whitegate
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
