What affects the price in Whitehaven
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Whitehaven, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Bath repair at your home in Whitehaven
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Whitehaven. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We leave the room as we found it
- Same prices wherever you are
- Work done at your home or business

Common problems we fix in Whitehaven
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Comparing quotes
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the colour is matched
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Whitehaven questions
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Whitehaven. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Whitehaven.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. 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, including clearing up.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
