How we handle bath repair in Whittington

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Common questions in Whittington

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover the entire of Warwickshire?

We work UK-wide, so Whittington is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

When can I have a bath again?

Typically within a day, depending on the repair.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whittington use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
