Bath repair in White Horse Common

Bath repair in White Horse Common, done in place

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we’re called out for in White Horse Common

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area

See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in White Horse Common, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Don’t 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.

White Horse Common: your questions answered

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

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

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How much does bath repair cost in White Horse Common?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
