Bath and surface repairs in RG24

How bath repair works in RG24

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and rust spots around the plughole, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

What you’ll pay

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

• How many areas need work
• Whether we combine several jobs
• Any earlier repairs that need removing first
• What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

• A picture taken from further back
• Any earlier repairs or coatings
• Something in shot to show the size
• One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

• Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
• Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
• Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
• Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

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