Bath repair at your home in Tetsworth

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your OX9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in Tetsworth

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Common questions in Tetsworth

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Are there extra charges for Tetsworth?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Landlord and trade work in Tetsworth

For anyone letting property in or around Tetsworth, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
