A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we handle bath repair in Jericho
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks in an acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we are called out for in Jericho
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your OX1 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Common questions in Jericho
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
