Repair or replace in Oxhey?
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Bath repair in Oxhey without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rust spots around the plughole.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath repair in Oxhey
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
