Common questions in Whitley Heath

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you come to Whitley Heath?

We do. We send a technician to Whitley Heath for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

About our bath repair in Whitley Heath

We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and deep scratches in acrylic.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Whitley Heath. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Whitley Heath. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Do you need bath repair in Whitley Heath?

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips under the taps
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why Whitley Heath clients choose us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
