Bath repair at your home in Little Tew
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about a chip where the taps sit and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repairing versus replacing in Little Tew

Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Little Tew. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Little Tew: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, 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.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you need bath repair in Little Tew?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Look out for these signs:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
