Bath repair at your home in Westley Bottom
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips on the rim or sides, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Westley Bottom. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Westley Bottom. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Westley Bottom
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover Westley Bottom?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Westley Bottom and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
