Bath repair in Westbury

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Bath repair in Westbury without replacing anything

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips under the taps, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Westbury

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repair or replace in Westbury?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Signs you need bath repair in Westbury

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to look after the finish
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Common questions in Westbury

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
