Bath repair for Whistley Green homes

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

FAQs for Whistley Green

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in 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.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

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.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we are called out for in Whistley Green

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
