DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we handle bath repair in Crowell Hill
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We are frequently asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: 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. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Landlord and trade work in Crowell Hill
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crowell Hill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Do you need bath repair in Crowell Hill?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if they find more damage
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Common questions in Crowell Hill
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
