Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Bath repair at your home in Oakhanger
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Questions from Oakhanger
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover Oakhanger?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Oakhanger and the rest of Cheshire East. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, 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.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.
