Trusted bath repair in Westmeston

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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Westmeston use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we handle bath repair in Westmeston

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped rim or side and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Westmeston

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Westmeston: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Westmeston?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Westmeston.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Repair or replace in Westmeston?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

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.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
