FAQs for Reading Street
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Reading Street. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Reading Street
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Reading Street
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Reading Street use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Signs you need bath repair in Reading Street
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
