Bath repair in West End without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are rust by the waste and overflow and impact holes in acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we’re called out for in West End
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How long before I can use the bath?

Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
