Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, typically in a single visit. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Signs you need bath repair in Horton

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Common reasons people in Horton contact us include:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips under the taps

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Horton

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Slough and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Repair or replace in Horton?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Horton

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  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 following day.

Getting ready for the visit
