Advice
About our bath repair in Oxenhall
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are impact holes in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, 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.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Oxenhall
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Oxenhall
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
