DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

About our bath repair in Whittington

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust by the waste and overflow.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Signs you need bath repair in Whittington

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Whittington?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why Whittington customers choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

If you manage property in Whittington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Whittington questions

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
