How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Bath repair in Old Woking without replacing anything

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and chips on the rim or sides, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Old Woking as everywhere else we work.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

FAQs for Old Woking

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Old Woking. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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.

What we are called out for in Old Woking

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Repairs by material

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Old Woking

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
