Bath repair at your home in Bampton
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and damage beneath the taps, we can generally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Bampton. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bampton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What else we do in Bampton
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Repair or replace in Bampton?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Fixed prices from your photos
- We leave the room as we found it

Bampton questions
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Bampton included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Common problems we fix in Bampton
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
