Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace in Headbourne Worthy?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Headbourne Worthy: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Headbourne Worthy included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are there extra charges for Headbourne Worthy?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I fix it myself?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
