How we handle bath repair in The Warren
A damaged bath doesn’t 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. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are impact holes in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in The Warren and across Bracknell Forest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works
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, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Landlords, agents and businesses in The Warren
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Signs you need bath repair in The Warren
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

- Rusty patches near the plughole

- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Repair or replace: which is better?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for The Warren.
