Landlord and trade work in Whitton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When to call us in Whitton
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Common reasons people in Whitton contact us include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chip where the taps sit
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
If you’re in Whitton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Same prices wherever you are
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We leave the room as we found it

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Whitton. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Whitton: your questions answered
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you come to Whitton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Whitton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
