Bath repair across RG17: what to expect
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and deep scratches in acrylic, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in RG17 use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
FAQs for RG17
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you come to RG17?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to RG17 and the rest of West Berkshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
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.
Are there extra charges for RG17?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
