Bath repair at your home in Cropredy
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about chips caused by builders and rust spots around the plughole.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
If you’re in Cropredy and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us

Questions from Cropredy
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Are there extra charges for Cropredy?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Cropredy.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
