When to call us in Westley Waterless

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again

Repairing versus replacing in Westley Waterless

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Westley Waterless. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CB8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
