Bath repair in Steeple Aston, done in place

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and chips caused by builders.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done 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.

Repair or replace in Steeple Aston?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Why us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are

Steeple Aston questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Steeple Aston?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Steeple Aston. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Steeple Aston, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Have new chips seen to early

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
