We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips caused by builders.

What we are called out for in Westergate

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips under the taps
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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 day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PO20 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Westergate: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Do you work in Westergate?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Westergate from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Westergate?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Westergate

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Westergate, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
