How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price

About our bath repair in Whitley
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Questions from Whitley
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you cover the entire of Wiltshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Whitley. Prices do not change with location.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Landlord and trade work in Whitley
For anyone letting property in or around Whitley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Whitley, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When to call us in Whitley
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

- Chips on the rim or sides
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
