What affects the price in Shirburn
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common questions in Shirburn
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Oxfordshire.
Are there extra charges for Shirburn?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your OX49 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
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 can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
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.
