West Park questions
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
How much does bath repair cost in West Park?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across St Helens.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
About our bath repair in West Park
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the next day. We are often asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you are in West Park and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Signs you need bath repair in West Park
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips on the rim or sides
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
- How your room will be protected

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
