Bath chip & crack repair in Westrip, Gloucestershire
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths at your home in Westrip, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
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.
About our bath repair in Westrip
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips under the taps and chips on the rim or sides.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Westrip as everywhere else we work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlord and trade work in Westrip
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Repairing versus replacing in Westrip
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour-matched on site
