Bath repair across RG1: what to expect
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including RG1. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repair or replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is.
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Common problems we fix in RG1
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
Your questions about bath repair in RG1
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Wokingham.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
