About our bath repair in West Lyn
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or sides and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from West Lyn
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How much does bath repair cost in West Lyn?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When to call us in West Lyn
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to care for the finish
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
