Bath repair near Bloxham

Bath repair in Bloxham, done in place

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and deep scratches in acrylic, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Common problems we fix in Bloxham

A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex.

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bloxham. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Bloxham clients choose us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Bloxham questions

Do you cover Bloxham?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Bloxham and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
