Bath repair in Whitlock's End, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Whitlock's End: your questions answered
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Are there extra charges for Whitlock's End?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Landlord and trade work in Whitlock's End
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Whitlock's End. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Whitlock's End, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
