About our bath repair in Oadby
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a cracked acrylic bath.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Oadby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace in Oadby?

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
