DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
About our bath repair in Olney
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and damage beneath the taps, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
When to call us in Olney
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Olney, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Olney
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Olney. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
