How we handle bath repair in Westfield
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. If you are dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can typically put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Questions from Westfield
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No need to remove anything

Signs you need bath repair in Westfield
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
What affects the price in Westfield
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Westfield. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Westfield, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
