Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Our work in Kennington
Kennington is about 3 miles south of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Customers in Kennington get the same service as everywhere else we cover: a fixed quote from pictures, then a visit to do the work. Kennington is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we work. Our nearest city page is London, about 51 miles away.
Jobs in OX1 and OX14 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. You will find streets such as Simpsons Way, The Avenue and Liddiard Close, all of which we cover. We also travel to Sandford-on-Thames (1 mile east), Littlemore (1 mile north-east), Redbridge (1 mile north), Hinksey Hill (1 mile north-west) and Bayworth (1 mile west). We also work in nearby towns such as Oxford (3 miles north), Didcot (7 miles south), Bicester (14 miles north), Abingdon-on-Thames (3 miles south-west), Witney (12 miles north-west) and Carterton (15 miles west).
Local landmarks in Kennington
Around Kennington, we work in homes near The Tandem pub, St Swithun's CofE Primary School and St Swithun's Church, among other places. Other local landmarks include Emmanuel Christian School (1.1 miles north-east) and The Oxford Academy (1.4 miles north-east). Kennington’s nearest station is Radley station, roughly 1.8 miles south of the centre.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Do you need bath repair in Kennington?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- Chips under the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A chipped rim or side

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
