Bath repair at your home in Ovington
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or sides and chips caused by builders, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath repair in Ovington?

- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chip where the taps sit

Repairing versus replacing in Ovington
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Different materials, different repairs
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 is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Questions from Ovington
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Are there extra charges for Ovington?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Landlord and trade work in Ovington
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ovington as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
