Cippenham questions

Is my repair covered?

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

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

About our bath repair in Cippenham

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and a cracked acrylic bath, across pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cippenham and across Slough.

Repairing versus replacing in Cippenham

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cippenham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Cippenham customers choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, 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

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

What affects the price in Cippenham

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Cippenham. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Cippenham get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Landlord and trade work in Cippenham

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Cippenham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
