Common problems we fix in Henley-on-Thames

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Common questions in Henley-on-Thames

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When can I have a bath again?

Generally the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do you work in Henley-on-Thames?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Henley-on-Thames from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add 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.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Henley-on-Thames, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
