Signs you need bath repair in Oxbridge
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders

Bath repair in Oxbridge, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and chips along the edge of the bath, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Common questions in Oxbridge
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you cover the entire of Middlesbrough?
Across the UK, so Oxbridge is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Oxbridge?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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’s the part we put right.
