Bath repair in Owston without replacing anything
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. You can typically use the bath the day after. We’re frequently asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairing versus replacing in Owston
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Owston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- No extra charge for your area
- A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel

What else we do in Owston
Do you need bath repair in Owston?
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.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include

- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Owston questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Owston. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
