Bath repair for Myrke homes

Common problems we fix in Myrke

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps

How to compare quotes

Bath repair in Myrke, done in place

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are impact holes in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Most customers in Myrke get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Questions from Myrke

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Are there extra charges for Myrke?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Myrke and the rest of Slough. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Myrke

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Slough and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
