Questions from Reading
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and clean up before we leave.
How much does bath repair cost in Reading?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode, and we’ll reply with the price.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
When can I use it again after the repair?
Usually by the next day, depending on the job. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Bath repair at your home in Reading
You can usually use the bath the next day. A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wokingham. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

When to call us in Reading
Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Scratches and burns
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
