How bath repair works in SL1
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 and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the following day. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are scuffs and scratches in the surface and holes from dropped items.
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Cost
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
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.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What we are called out for in SL1
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
Landlords, agents and businesses in SL1
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Your questions about bath repair in SL1
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you cover the entire of Slough?
All of Slough, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
