We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or sides and chips under the taps.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in West Burton

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Signs you need bath repair in West Burton

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Your questions about bath repair in West Burton

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

When can I have a bath again?

Typically within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for West Burton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
