About our bath repair in Whitewell
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are holes from dropped items and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Do you need bath repair in Whitewell?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chipped rim or side

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SY13 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Your questions about bath repair in Whitewell
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
