How we handle bath repair in Westgate

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. If you’re dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  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, normally the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NR21 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

Westgate questions

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Is a bath repair durable?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Westgate is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Westgate

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

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