Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How we handle bath repair in Oakfordbridge
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with a chipped rim or side and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

Common problems we fix in Oakfordbridge
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 steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

- How your room will be protected
- How long it needs to cure
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Repair or replace in Oakfordbridge?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
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 without abrasive products.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
