How we handle bath repair in Drayton Beauchamp
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and scratches in the surface and rust spots around the plughole.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Questions from Drayton Beauchamp
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you come to Drayton Beauchamp?
We do. We send a technician to Drayton Beauchamp for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Drayton Beauchamp included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What affects the price in Drayton Beauchamp
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price

Advice
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

When to call us in Drayton Beauchamp
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
