Bath repair for Capon's Green homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Bath repair in Capon's Green, done in place

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and deep scratches in acrylic.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

  • Roll-top & freestanding

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Choosing a repair company

Questions from Capon's Green

Is a bath repair durable?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you work in Capon's Green?

We do. We send a technician to Capon's Green for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Why repair rather than replace?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
