What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Wokingham. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Wokingham, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 usually cheaper.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Wokingham: your questions answered
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Common problems we fix in Wokingham
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Common reasons people in Wokingham contact us are:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wokingham
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What else we do in Wokingham
Repair or replace in Wokingham?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
