About our bath repair in Buscot
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Buscot use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Buscot, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Questions from Buscot
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?
The entire UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Do you need bath repair in Buscot?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
- What preparation is included
- Aftercare advice
Should you replace it?
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’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
