Bath repair in Westcott Barton, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips on the rim or sides, we can generally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Westcott Barton. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse it down after each bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Questions from Westcott Barton
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?
We cover the entire UK, including Westcott Barton and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What we can’t put right
