Bath repair near Westbourne

Bath repair in Westbourne without replacing anything

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. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and a chipped rim or side.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Landlord and trade work in Westbourne

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Westbourne, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Same prices wherever you are

When to call us in Westbourne

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A steel bath rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Westbourne get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
