Bath Repair in Ovenden Wood
We travel to Ovenden Wood for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ovenden Wood. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
About our bath repair in Ovenden Wood
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and a chip where the taps sit.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Questions from Ovenden Wood
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Are there extra charges for Ovenden Wood?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Ovenden Wood
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
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.
Common problems we fix in Ovenden Wood
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.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Repair or replace in Ovenden Wood?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: 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.
