Bath Repair in Oxley Green

- Repairs from £95
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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.
How we handle bath repair in Oxley Green
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the next day. If you are dealing with impact holes in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses

What affects the price in Oxley Green
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in Oxley Green get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What else we do in Oxley Green
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
FAQs for Oxley Green
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
