DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Bath repair in Fawler without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. We’re often asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and chips caused by builders, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Fawler questions
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you hold any accreditations?

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?

Which areas do you work in?
All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you come to Fawler?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Fawler for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What affects the price in Fawler
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

When to call us in Fawler
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Look out for these signs:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
- How to care for the finish
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why Fawler customers choose us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
