How we handle bath repair in West End
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. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include a chipped rim or side and deep scratches in acrylic, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in West End
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
- How the colour is matched
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for West End. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your MK43 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
West End: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
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
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
