When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Bath repair in Whittington without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the next day. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and damage beneath the taps, we can generally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Whittington, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Whittington, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Questions from Whittington
