Bath repair at your home in Slough Hill
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the following day. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Slough Hill: your questions answered
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

When to call us in Slough Hill
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Common reasons people in Slough Hill contact us include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Landlords, agents and businesses in Slough Hill
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
