Bath Repair in Bixley
Local bath repair for Bixley: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Bath repair at your home in Bixley
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a chipped rim or side, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Bixley
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Common problems we fix in Bixley
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- A hole punched through by something heavy
