DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we handle bath repair in Calcot
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and deep scratches in acrylic, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Calcot
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Calcot?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of West Berkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Should you replace it?
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’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we are called out for in Calcot
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Holes from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
Landlords, agents and businesses in Calcot
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What affects the price in Calcot
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
