Book bath repair in West End

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we handle bath repair in West End

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We’re frequently asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips under the taps, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

West End questions

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Wiltshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

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 collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

How to compare quotes

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. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for West End. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

For a price in West End, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What your bath is made of matters

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 what we repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
