How we handle bath repair in Watlington

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and holes from dropped items, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common questions in Watlington

When can you do it?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

How do I book?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  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 day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Watlington. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PE33 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Watlington

If you manage property in Watlington, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Store metal items away from the bath

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

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
