How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we’re called out for in Whitton
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Whitton. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Landlord and trade work in Whitton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Whitton: your questions answered
Do you work in Whitton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Whitton and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
