How we handle bath repair in Oak Tree
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or sides and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When to call us in Oak Tree
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Oak Tree
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Do you work in Oak Tree?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Oak Tree. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are there extra charges for Oak Tree?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
