Bath repair at your home in Radwell

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and holes from dropped items, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Radwell. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Radwell

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Why Radwell customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

FAQs for Radwell

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
