Bath chip & crack repair in Whittington, Lancashire
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Whittington, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When to call us in Whittington
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Whittington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Everything repaired in place
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Whittington questions
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Whittington. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Whittington?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
