Do you need bath repair in Whitehough Head?

- Rusty patches near the plughole

Repairing versus replacing in Whitehough Head
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Whitehough Head. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What affects the price in Whitehough Head
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Whitehough Head. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitehough Head use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
