Advice
Bath repair in Chadlington, done in place
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. If you’re dealing with a chip where the taps sit and rust spots around the plughole, we can generally put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we’re called out for in Chadlington
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips along the edge of the bath

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Chadlington
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Chadlington
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you work in Chadlington?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Chadlington and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
