Bath repair in Oakley

Bath repair in Oakley, done in place

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Oakley and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Signs you need bath repair in Oakley

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Oakley clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your GL52 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Questions from Oakley

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
