Bath repair near Westhay

Bath repair in Westhay without replacing anything

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  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

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Landlord and trade work in Westhay

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Westhay

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

Repairing versus replacing in Westhay

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we are called out for in Westhay

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Damage beneath the taps

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Westhay: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are there extra charges for Westhay?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

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.
