Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
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.
When to call us in Botley
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Landlords, agents and businesses in Botley
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Botley questions

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
