- Repairs from £95
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Bath repair in Westleton, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the next day. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Westleton as everywhere else we work.

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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Westleton. What changes the price is:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Westleton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Westleton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
