Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Egham Hythe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Bath repair in Egham Hythe, done in place

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you’re dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

Related advice

Do you need bath repair in Egham Hythe?

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips under the taps

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
