Common problems we fix in Sindlesham
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
Bath repair in Sindlesham, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and holes from dropped items.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Sindlesham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A fixed quote before you book
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Sindlesham: your questions answered
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you cover the whole of Wokingham?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
