How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TS26 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Bath repair at your home in West Park
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to 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 are frequently asked to fix holes from dropped items and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Park
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What else we do in West Park
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Signs you need bath repair in West Park
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
