FAQs for Whixall
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Whixall
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour-matched on site
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Usually one visit, start to finish

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Whixall

What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Whixall. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Whixall. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
