About our bath repair in Okus
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the following day. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What else we do in Okus
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- 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 before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When to call us in Okus
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
Your questions about bath repair in Okus
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
What affects the price in Okus
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Okus. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
