  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

About our bath repair in Whittington

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Worcestershire.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What affects the price in Whittington

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Whittington. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

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

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you cover the entire of Worcestershire?

We cover the entire UK, including Whittington and the rest of Worcestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Whittington

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