Bath repair in West Street, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are chips under the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in West Street
Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- A fixed quote before booking
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Your questions about bath repair in West Street
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Street
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Street use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in West Street
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
