Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Your questions about bath repair in Whiterock
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Are there extra charges for Whiterock?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

What else we do in Whiterock
What we are called out for in Whiterock
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Whiterock. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
