What affects the price in Burghfield Bridge

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Burghfield Bridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Burghfield Bridge, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Burghfield Bridge

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Reading.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Burghfield Bridge

  • Acrylic

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Common problems we fix in Burghfield Bridge

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
