DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
About our bath repair in Whitehouse
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and rusty patches near the plughole, across pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath repair in Whitehouse
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you cover Whitehouse?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Whitehouse and the rest of Milton Keynes. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Whitehouse is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What we are called out for in Whitehouse
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
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
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
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 the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Whitehouse. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting ready for the visit

How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
