How we handle bath repair in West End
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the following day. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and holes from dropped items.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What we’re called out for in West End
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
West End: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How much does bath repair cost in West End?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your AL9 postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
