About our bath repair in Houghton St Giles
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and damage beneath the taps, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Questions from Houghton St Giles
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How much does bath repair cost in Houghton St Giles?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Houghton St Giles. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Houghton St Giles.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Houghton St Giles
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.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace in Houghton St Giles?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Houghton St Giles
Rust generally 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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A cracked acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
