What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlord and trade work in Loxford
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Loxford use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What we are called out for in Loxford
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Look out for these signs:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Loxford: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
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.
