Signs you need bath repair in Old Bilton
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips under the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Bath repair in Old Bilton without replacing anything
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 and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the following day. We are frequently asked to fix damage beneath the taps and rusty patches near the plughole, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Old Bilton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Common questions in Old Bilton
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you come to Old Bilton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Old Bilton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.
