Bath repair at your home in Drayton St Leonard
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Drayton St Leonard as everywhere else we work.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Common questions in Drayton St Leonard
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you come to Drayton St Leonard?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Drayton St Leonard and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Repair or replace in Drayton St Leonard?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Drayton St Leonard
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
