Westleigh: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How much does bath repair cost in Westleigh?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Westleigh
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Westleigh use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Repairing versus replacing in Westleigh
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
