About our bath repair in Kingston Blount
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We’re frequently asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and cracks in an acrylic bath, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Kingston Blount: your questions answered
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Kingston Blount?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your OX39 postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Kingston Blount and the rest of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we are called out for in Kingston Blount
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Common reasons people in Kingston Blount contact us include:
- Chips under the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Comparing quotes
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Related advice
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Kingston Blount. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Landlord and trade work in Kingston Blount
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
