How we handle bath repair in Whitehawk
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or sides and rust spots around the plughole, we can typically put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Whitehawk, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Whitehawk. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

FAQs for Whitehawk
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your BN2 postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Whitehawk
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Common problems we fix in Whitehawk
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
