Whittle-le-Woods questions
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you are in Whittle-le-Woods and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whittle-le-Woods use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Whittle-le-Woods

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
