How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
About our bath repair in Tilehurst Within
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and a hole punched through by something heavy, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What affects the price in Tilehurst Within
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

- A hole punched through by something heavy

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 costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Tilehurst Within questions
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How much does bath repair cost in Tilehurst Within?
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 and your postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
