What affects the price in Cholesbury
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in Cholesbury and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Cholesbury: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you cover Cholesbury?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cholesbury for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How invisible is a bath 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.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Cholesbury
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cholesbury use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
