For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Caversham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Bath repair in Caversham without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chipped rim or side, we can usually put it right.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Reading.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Store metal items away from the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Signs you need bath repair in Caversham
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Chips under the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Caversham. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Caversham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from pictures so you do not 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, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Repair or replace in Caversham?
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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- We leave the room as we found it
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Are there extra charges for Caversham?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
