How we handle bath repair in East Lockinge
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in East Lockinge and across Oxfordshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

What else we do in East Lockinge
East Lockinge: your questions answered
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Lockinge use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
