Common questions in Headley
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Headley?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across West Berkshire.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of West Berkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Bath repair in Headley, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage beneath the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you need bath repair in Headley?
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Chips under the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Repairing versus replacing in Headley
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
