Bath repair in Oxlode

When to call us in Oxlode

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Bath repair in Oxlode, done in place

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and chips caused by builders, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through

Oxlode: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Should you replace it?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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 is what we repair.

What affects the price in Oxlode

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Oxlode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
