Trusted bath repair in Upper Woolhampton

Bath repair at your home in Upper Woolhampton

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the next day. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a chip where the taps sit.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Upper Woolhampton questions

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally within a day, depending on the repair.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Upper Woolhampton included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What affects the price in Upper Woolhampton

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Upper Woolhampton. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RG7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need bath repair in Upper Woolhampton

A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A chip where the taps sit

Comparing quotes

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Repairing versus replacing in Upper Woolhampton

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Berkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  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

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

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’s what we repair.
