Bath repair at your home in RG14

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and a cracked acrylic bath, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

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.
We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

What you will pay

Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Common problems we fix in RG14

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.

What affects the price in RG14

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

How much damage there is
The material and finish
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

The material, if you know it
Any earlier repairs or coatings
Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in RG14

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in RG14 use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around RG14, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from RG14

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you cover RG14?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to RG14 and the rest of West Berkshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

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