About our bath repair in Burghfield Common
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and rust spots around the plughole, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

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 work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Burghfield Common
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burghfield Common use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
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.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Burghfield Common: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you cover the whole of West Berkshire?
We cover the entire UK, including Burghfield Common and the rest of West Berkshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Burghfield Common?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Burghfield Common
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
