What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

FAQs for Radley Green

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

How much does bath repair cost in Radley Green?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Radley Green

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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

What we work on

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

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Radley Green, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
