Bath repair at your home in Westport

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Westport

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TA10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

Do you need bath repair in Westport?

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

How to compare quotes

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 so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about bath repair in Westport

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Westport

  • Whirlpool & spa baths

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
