Bath chip & crack repair in Benson, Oxfordshire
Damaged bath in Benson? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Bath repair in Benson without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about rusty patches near the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

When to call us in Benson
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Chips caused by builders
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Benson, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Benson questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Repair or replace in Benson?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
