Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I get a quote without a visit?

Do you cover Whitford?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Whitford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
About our bath repair in Whitford
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are rusty patches near the plughole and a chipped rim or side.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Signs you need bath repair in Whitford
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Generally one visit, start to finish
See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Whitford

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
