How we handle bath repair in Ascott-under-Wychwood

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We’re frequently asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips caused by builders, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ascott-under-Wychwood and across Oxfordshire.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Advice

Ascott-under-Wychwood questions

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
