What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Bath repair at your home in Westhorpe
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We are often asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
When to call us in Westhorpe
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items

Westhorpe: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Westhorpe included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you come to Westhorpe?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Westhorpe. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic

Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
