How we handle bath repair in South Stoke
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a kit repair that didn’t last, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Signs you need bath repair in South Stoke
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 is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic

Landlord and trade work in South Stoke
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
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.

Nearby you’ll also find Wallingford Castle (3.8 miles north). Not far away are Churn Hill and Withymead Nature Reserve.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Common questions in South Stoke
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for South Stoke. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
