A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

About our bath repair in West End
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We are frequently asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months in West End and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What affects the price in West End
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Do you need bath repair in West End?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Look out for any of the following:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Your questions about bath repair in West End
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
