How we handle bath repair in Murcott
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Murcott
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Murcott, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Murcott: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Signs you need bath repair in Murcott
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
