What we do, step by step

- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through

Questions from Clanfield
Do you cover Clanfield?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Clanfield and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Clanfield.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Signs you need bath repair in Clanfield
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
What affects the price in Clanfield
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
