Bath repair in Uffington, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and chips on the rim or sides.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take 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.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
When to call us in Uffington
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust spots around the plughole
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
