Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Your questions about bath repair in Fulbrook
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover Fulbrook?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Fulbrook and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the price in Fulbrook
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in Fulbrook get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Do you need bath repair in Fulbrook?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Fulbrook
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
