Bath Repair in Slough

Our bath repair service in Slough

A damaged bath doesn’t 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. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips under the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

• Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
• Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
• Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
• Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
