Bath repair in Binsey, done in place
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can usually put it right, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Binsey. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OX2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One visit for most repairs

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Common problems we fix in Binsey
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Common reasons people in Binsey contact us include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
