DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Bath repair in Sandford-on-Thames, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and chips caused by builders.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair

- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Sandford-on-Thames
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Landlord and trade work in Sandford-on-Thames
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How it works

- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

FAQs for Sandford-on-Thames
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Signs you need bath repair in Sandford-on-Thames

- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sandford-on-Thames. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote

- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
