Our repair technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and rust spots around the plughole.

Repairing versus replacing in Great Oxendon
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Great Oxendon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
What affects the price in Great Oxendon
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Great Oxendon. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Great Oxendon, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Can I fix it myself?
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 usually cheaper.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Great Oxendon questions
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
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.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
