Advice
Bath repair in Pangbourne, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We are often asked to fix a chipped rim or side and rusty patches near the plughole, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
What we’re called out for in Pangbourne
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure

Pangbourne questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Pangbourne?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
