Bath repair in Bladon, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped rim or side and snagging damage from a refit.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairing versus replacing in Bladon
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No need to remove anything
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

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 bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Do you need bath repair in Bladon?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chipped rim or side

Bladon: your questions answered
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What affects the price in Bladon
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bladon. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bladon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel

- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
