About our bath repair in Ovington
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

When to call us in Ovington
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price

What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Ovington: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are there extra charges for Ovington?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you cover the whole of Northumberland?
The whole UK, including all of Northumberland. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
