How we handle bath repair in Slough

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips along the edge of the bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Slough questions

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long before I can use the bath?

Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, 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 soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Do you need bath repair in Slough?

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Slough

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

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Slough?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Slough. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
