Bath repair in Ovington without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We are often asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and holes from dropped items, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

When to call us in Ovington
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A chip where the taps sit

Ovington: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How much does bath repair cost in Ovington?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you cover Ovington?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ovington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What else we do in Ovington
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
