Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need bath repair in Burghclere Common

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A chipped rim or side

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath repair in Burghclere Common

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Repair or replace in Burghclere Common?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes 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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

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.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

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

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RG20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
