Bath repair in Wallingford

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Bath repair in Wallingford, done in place

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you’re dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Repair or replace in Wallingford?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wallingford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Your questions about bath repair in Wallingford

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?

The whole UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

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.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a bath repair permanent?

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

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
