Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whittington use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common problems we fix in Whittington

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to look after the finish

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Common questions in Whittington

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you come to Whittington?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Whittington. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
