How we handle bath repair in Westfields

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and a cracked acrylic bath.

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

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

FAQs for Westfields

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you cover Westfields?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Westfields and the rest of Dorset. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Do you cover the whole of Dorset?

We cover the entire UK, including Westfields and the rest of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlord and trade work in Westfields

For anyone letting property in or around Westfields, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Signs you need bath repair in Westfields

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected
