Bath repair at your home in Oxford
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust spots around the plughole.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When to call us in Oxford
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips under the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Can I fix it myself?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
Your questions about bath repair in Oxford

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
