Bath repair at your home in Whaddon

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We’re often asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and chips under the taps, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

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

Common questions in Whaddon

Do you cover Whaddon?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Whaddon from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

When can I have a bath again?

Usually the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What areas do you cover?

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

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get 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 reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Whaddon. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
