How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Bath repair in Whitkirk without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks and holes in acrylic baths and rust spots where the enamel has gone.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Repairing versus replacing in Whitkirk
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Signs you need bath repair in Whitkirk
Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.
