Bath repair at your home in Reading

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include a chipped rim or side and cracks in an acrylic bath, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Repairing versus replacing

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.

Questions to ask before you book

Who will actually do the work
Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What aftercare is recommended
Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Landlord and trade work in Reading

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Reading, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

What affects the price in Reading

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Whether we combine several jobs
Where the damage is and how we get to it
Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

A clear, close picture of the problem area
Where you are, by postcode
Something in shot to show the size
Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Common questions in Reading

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
