Common questions in West Cliff
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
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.
Bath repair at your home in West Cliff
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and impact holes in acrylic, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

More services for West Cliff
Do you need bath repair in West Cliff?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- What aftercare is recommended
- How your room will be protected
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Repair or replace in West Cliff?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
