About our bath repair in Fyfield

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rust spots around the plughole.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Landlord and trade work in Fyfield

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

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.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Fyfield

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

When to call us in Fyfield

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Fyfield. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Common questions in Fyfield

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

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.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Do you come to Fyfield?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Fyfield from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
