FAQs for Westwood Heath

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Westwood Heath?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repairing versus replacing in Westwood Heath

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When to call us in Westwood Heath

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
