Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common problems we fix in Black Bourton
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Your questions about bath repair in Black Bourton
Are there extra charges for Black Bourton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
