How we handle bath repair in Oldswinford
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Oldswinford. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in Oldswinford get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
For a price in Oldswinford, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

Questions from Oldswinford
Do you work in Oldswinford?

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why repair rather than replace?
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 entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
