Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
How we handle bath repair in West End
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. If you are dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including West End. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West End. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Repair or replace in West End?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Your questions about bath repair in West End
Are there extra charges for West End?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
