Church Eaton questions
Will it make a mess?

How much does bath repair cost in Church Eaton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
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.
How we handle bath repair in Church Eaton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the day after. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and chips under the taps, we can normally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- 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 typically use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Church Eaton
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Church Eaton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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 the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
