Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
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.
How we handle bath repair in Oxhill
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and scratches in the surface and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
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 what we repair.

What happens on the day

- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we are called out for in Oxhill
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- What preparation is included
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
