About our bath repair in Barford St John
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Barford St John and across Oxfordshire.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Your questions about bath repair in Barford St John
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your OX15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- A fixed quote before booking
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
