Bath repair in Summertown without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Summertown use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Summertown. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Summertown and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Common questions in Summertown
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Summertown included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Are there extra charges for Summertown?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
When to call us in Summertown
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Common reasons people in Summertown contact us are:
- Chips under the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote

Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Honest limits

- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
