Bath repair in Westoe, done in place
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’re often asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Westoe
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Westoe

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- One price list for the whole UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Most jobs done in one visit

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
FAQs for Westoe
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
