Bath repair near Sandhurst

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Sandhurst: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

When can I have a bath again?

Usually the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

How much does bath repair cost in Sandhurst?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you cover Sandhurst?

We do. We send a technician to Sandhurst for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your GL2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Signs you need bath repair in Sandhurst

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips under the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What preparation is included

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Acrylic

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

Aftercare tips

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

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandhurst as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
