How we handle bath repair in Henley
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Henley. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Do you need bath repair in Henley?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Common questions in Henley
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you work in Henley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Henley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Henley included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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 takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. 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.
