Repair or replace: which is better?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Bath repair in Burford without replacing anything
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rusty patches near the plughole.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?
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 photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
FAQs for Burford
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Burford?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. 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. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Do you need bath repair in Burford?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A hole punched through by something heavy

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Most customers in Burford get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
