Common questions in Onibury
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Bath repair in Onibury without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and holes from dropped items.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
When to call us in Onibury
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Repairing versus replacing in Onibury
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What affects the price in Onibury
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Onibury get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
