Bath repair in Hatford, done in place
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We’re frequently asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the price in Hatford
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why Hatford clients choose us

DIY kit or professional repair?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Hatford: your questions answered
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Hatford and the rest of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Do you need bath repair in Hatford?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
Comparing quotes
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
