Bath repair for Whitehall homes

Repairing versus replacing in Whitehall

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

About our bath repair in Whitehall

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a kit repair that didn’t last and impact holes in acrylic.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Whitehall and across West Sussex.

Whitehall questions

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are there extra charges for Whitehall?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitehall use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Signs you need bath repair in Whitehall

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips under the taps

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

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.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Whitehall, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
