Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

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.

How we handle bath repair in Oakbank

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are damage beneath the taps and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

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

Common questions in Oakbank

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your PH1 postcode.

Do you need bath repair in Oakbank?

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.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Holes from dropped items

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in Oakbank and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price
