About our bath repair in Begbroke
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 repaired in place, typically in a single visit. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Begbroke as everywhere else we work.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Begbroke. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Begbroke, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 typically the cheaper route.

Questions from Begbroke
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?
We work UK-wide, so Begbroke is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What we’re called out for in Begbroke
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Comparing quotes
- How changes to the job are handled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
