Questions from Wootton
Do you work in Wootton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Wootton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wootton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Other services in Wootton
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
