About our bath repair in Ducklington
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and deep scratches in acrylic, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
If you are in Ducklington and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Ducklington
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips under the taps
Comparing quotes
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your OX29 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
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. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.

Ducklington questions
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your OX29 postcode.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
