What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Questions from Postcombe
Are there extra charges for Postcombe?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

What else we do in Postcombe
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Common problems we fix in Postcombe
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
