When to call us in Whiteinch
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Questions from Whiteinch
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Have new chips seen to early
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
What affects the price in Whiteinch
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whiteinch use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
