Bath repair in Enborne Row

FAQs for Enborne Row

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Usually. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Bath repair in Enborne Row without replacing anything

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are rust by the waste and overflow and impact holes in acrylic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Enborne Row

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Enborne Row as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Enborne Row. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RG20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
