Bath repair near Speenhamland

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

Bath repair in Speenhamland, done in place

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and rust by the waste and overflow, we can normally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Your questions about bath repair in Speenhamland

How much does bath repair cost in Speenhamland?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RG14 postcode.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
