Bath repair in Lechlade-on-Thames without replacing anything

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips on the rim or sides, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Signs you need bath repair in Lechlade-on-Thames

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rust spots around the plughole

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Lechlade-on-Thames

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. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Questions from Lechlade-on-Thames

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will the repair show?

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

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Landlord and trade work in Lechlade-on-Thames

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
