Bath repair in Whitwood without replacing anything
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. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and holes from dropped items, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What happens on the day
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 few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Whitwood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your WF10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Questions from Whitwood
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wakefield and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
