Bath repair in Slough Green, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a hole punched through by something heavy.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

FAQs for Slough Green
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Slough Green?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We leave the room as we found it
- No extra charge for your area
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Slough Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
