Should you replace it?

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 the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A steel bath rusted through

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

What affects the price in Upper Wardington

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Upper Wardington. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, 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.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

FAQs for Upper Wardington

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

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.

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Upper Wardington. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
