Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders

Bisley: your questions answered
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Bisley is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Repairing versus replacing in Bisley
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bisley
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bisley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bisley. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you’re in Bisley and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after 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.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
