Different materials, different repairs
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 is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How we handle bath repair in Whittonstall
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you’re dealing with a chipped rim or side and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Your questions about bath repair in Whittonstall
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you work in Whittonstall?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Whittonstall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Repairing versus replacing in Whittonstall
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match

- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
