Questions from Kirtlington
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Are there extra charges for Kirtlington?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a 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.

What we’re called out for in Kirtlington
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Look out for these signs:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
Comparing quotes

- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repairing versus replacing in Kirtlington
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Same prices wherever you are
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We leave the room as we found it

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
