About our bath repair in West Handley
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your S21 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Your questions about bath repair in West Handley
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West Handley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common problems we fix in West Handley
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
What affects the price in West Handley
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
