Oldcroft questions
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Bath repair in Oldcroft, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or sides and rusty patches near the plughole.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Do you need bath repair in Oldcroft?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered

Repair or replace in Oldcroft?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlord and trade work in Oldcroft
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oldcroft use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
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, so it’s always worth repairing.

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
