Trusted bath repair in Oxton Hill

Bath repair at your home in Oxton Hill

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about rust spots around the plughole and a hole punched through by something heavy.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

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.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What affects the price in Oxton Hill

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Oxton Hill, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
