Bath repair in Westby without replacing anything

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and holes from dropped items, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we are called out for in Westby

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Damage beneath the taps

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What affects the price in Westby

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PR4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Westby?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel

Questions from Westby

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Westby.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

When can I have a bath again?

Typically the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
