Bath repair in Whitehough without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Whitehough as everywhere else we work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Everything repaired in place
- We leave the room as we found it

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Other services in Whitehough
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we’re called out for in Whitehough
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust spots around the plughole

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SK23 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
