Your questions about bath repair in Ogbourne Maizey
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to Ogbourne Maizey?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ogbourne Maizey. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
About our bath repair in Ogbourne Maizey
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips under the taps.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently 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. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add 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.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What we are called out for in Ogbourne Maizey
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Look out for these signs:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What else we do in Ogbourne Maizey
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Ogbourne Maizey, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
