How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Bath repair at your home in Watlington
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the following day. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Watlington
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Watlington?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What we’re called out for in Watlington
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
- How to care for the finish
- If travel is included in the price
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Watlington
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
