Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Common problems we fix in Wooburn Common

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

Wooburn Common questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Are there extra charges for Wooburn Common?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Will there be a smell?

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

How do I get a price for bath repair in Wooburn Common?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, 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.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Wooburn Common, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
