How we handle bath repair in Ivinghoe Aston
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. If you are dealing with damage beneath the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can typically put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Ivinghoe Aston: your questions answered
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you come to Ivinghoe Aston?
We do. We send a technician to Ivinghoe Aston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Signs you need bath repair in Ivinghoe Aston
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
Comparing quotes
- Aftercare advice
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
What a repair cannot fix

- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
