Landlord and trade work in Milton-under-Wychwood

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Bath repair at your home in Milton-under-Wychwood

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and chips caused by builders, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Acrylic

Your questions about bath repair in Milton-under-Wychwood

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover Milton-under-Wychwood?

We do. Technicians travel to Milton-under-Wychwood from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Milton-under-Wychwood. Prices do not change with location.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Signs you need bath repair in Milton-under-Wychwood

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 lets water in, and rust follows.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
