DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repair or replace in Oulton?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in Oulton
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise 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.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When to call us in Oulton
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before booking
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
