Bath repair in Launton, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a chipped rim or side and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, 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 we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we’re called out for in Launton
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Common questions in Launton
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
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 picture.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
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.
