Bath repair near Eddington

Why repair rather than replace?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Bath repair at your home in Eddington

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and a chipped rim or side, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Eddington

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will the repair last?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. 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 feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eddington use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Get a quote

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Eddington

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
