What we’re called out for in West Keal
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- What prep work is covered
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for West Keal. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

West Keal questions
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in West Keal.
How do I get a price for bath repair in West Keal?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Repairing versus replacing in West Keal
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
