How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Skinners Green. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in Skinners Green and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Bath repair in Skinners Green, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Somewhere as small as Skinners Green, you will find cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings. Some have heavy cast iron baths or tight bathrooms, and removing a bath from an older house is rarely simple. Repairing in place avoids that.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Skinners Green questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Newbury station?
Yes, landlords and agents book us regularly, and a repair between tenants is typically quicker than replacing.
Is it worth repairing old baths in a period home in Skinners Green?
Often, yes: original pieces are generally worth keeping. Photos let us tell you what we would recommend.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Are there extra charges for Skinners Green?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Older homes around Skinners Green may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. A repair keeps the original.
Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up. Somewhere as small as Skinners Green, access is typically the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we are called out for in Skinners Green
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
For older houses around Skinners Green, near landmarks such as Parish Church of St Michael, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and bath repair gives it years more use.
