Book bath repair in Old Warren

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Bath repair in Old Warren, done in place

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 and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Old Warren and across West Berkshire.

What affects the price in Old Warren

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Old Warren. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Landlord and trade work in Old Warren

For anyone letting property in or around Old Warren, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Warren as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What we’re called out for in Old Warren

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Old Warren

Old Warren: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Are there extra charges for Old Warren?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
