How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Oakham. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
About our bath repair in Oakham
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. Whether it’s chips under the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can typically put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Common questions in Oakham
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Repair or replace in Oakham?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Usually one visit, start to finish
Take a look at our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Signs you need bath repair in Oakham
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Impact holes in acrylic
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Landlords, agents and businesses in Oakham
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
