Bath repair in Oakley, done in place
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and deep scratches in acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Oakley and across Oxfordshire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we’re called out for in Oakley
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Oakley. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Oakley questions
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you come to Oakley?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Oakley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
