Bath repair in Whiteway, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Whiteway and across Bristol.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

When to call us in Whiteway

- Chips under the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Repairing versus replacing in Whiteway
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. 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.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Whiteway. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BS5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Whiteway: your questions answered
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Whiteway and the rest of Bristol. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
