About our bath repair in Claydon
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Claydon
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Claydon, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Claydon
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
