Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Bath repair in Whitestone, done in place

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitestone use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Why repair rather than replace?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
