What we’re called out for in Preston Crowmarsh
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
Bath repair at your home in Preston Crowmarsh
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. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Repair or replace in Preston Crowmarsh?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Questions from Preston Crowmarsh
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you cover Preston Crowmarsh?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Preston Crowmarsh and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Preston Crowmarsh. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
