Bath repair in Botley, done in place
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Our technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about rust spots around the plughole and chips caused by builders.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Botley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Do you need bath repair in Botley?
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 will start to rust.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
FAQs for Botley
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlord and trade work in Botley
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Botley
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
