About our bath repair in Westra
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. Typical jobs include hairline or through cracks in acrylic and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Westra. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

FAQs for Westra
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
