Bath repair in Tackley without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We are often asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and snagging damage from a refit, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Tackley. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common questions in Tackley
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What areas do you cover?
All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover Tackley?
We do. Technicians travel to Tackley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
