Bath repair near Mongewell

Bath repair in Mongewell, done in place

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and holes from dropped items.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Mongewell and across Oxfordshire.

Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

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.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What we are called out for in Mongewell

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.

Common reasons people in Mongewell contact us are:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your OX10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mongewell

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
