FAQs for Westfield

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Do you work in Westfield?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Westfield. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

When to call us in Westfield

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Westfield as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairs by material

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.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Westfield. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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