How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Bath repair in West End, done in place
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 and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage from a refit and holes from dropped items.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Postcode districts we cover here: GU24. Local streets include High Street, Church Road and Sefton Close. Close by, we cover Lucas Green (1 mile south-west), Donkey Town (1 mile west), Penny Pot (1 mile east), Bisley (1 mile south) and Castle Green (1 mile east). We also work in nearby towns such as Guildford (7 miles south-east), Woking (3 miles south-east), Camberley (4 miles west), Farnham (11 miles south-west), Egham (7 miles north-east) and Walton-on-Thames (10 miles east).
Around West End

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common questions in West End
Do you cover West End?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to West End and the rest of Surrey. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
When to call us in West End
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts 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.
