When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Bath repair in West End without replacing anything

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and a hole punched through by something heavy, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Landlord and trade work in West End

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Do you need bath repair 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.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 normally cheaper.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

West End: your questions answered

How invisible is a bath 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.

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.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
