Bath repair at your home in Ower
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and impact holes in acrylic, we can usually put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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, usually the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
What we’re called out for in Ower
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rust by the waste and overflow

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Ower
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ower. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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.
Your questions about bath repair in Ower
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Repair or replace in Ower?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
