Bath repair in Oakgrove, done in place
A damaged bath does not 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. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Oakgrove and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Oakgrove
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover Oakgrove?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Oakgrove. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

Repairing versus replacing in Oakgrove

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What affects the price in Oakgrove
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Oakgrove. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we are called out for in Oakgrove
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips caused by builders
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
