Bath repair in Whitehill without replacing anything
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and a chip where the taps sit.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
When to call us in Whitehill
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Chips caused by builders
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Whitehill questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Whitehill?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one 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 one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
