How we handle bath repair in Filchampstead
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Filchampstead and across Oxfordshire.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?

Signs you need bath repair in Filchampstead
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, 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.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Filchampstead, and we will reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Common questions in Filchampstead
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
