What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
About our bath repair in Westenhanger
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A whole bath that’s 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)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CT21 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Normally one visit, start to finish

Landlords, agents and businesses in Westenhanger
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Common problems we fix in Westenhanger
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
FAQs for Westenhanger
Can you price it without visiting?

What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
