Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
About our bath repair in High Cogges
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix a chipped rim or side and rust by the waste and overflow, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- 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.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
When to call us in High Cogges

- Chips under the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A hole punched through by something heavy

High Cogges questions
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
