Bath repair in Westfield without replacing anything

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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, typically the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Common problems we fix in Westfield

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Holes from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

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

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Westfield questions

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How invisible is a bath repair?

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.
