Trusted bath repair in Oakshott

Bath repair in Oakshott, done in place

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you’re dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust spots around the plughole, we can help.

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

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

You don’t 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 quote.

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What we are called out for in Oakshott

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oakshott

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oakshott use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
