Bath repair in Winterbrook without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the next day. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can normally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Common problems we fix in Winterbrook
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your OX10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Winterbrook
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Landlord and trade work in Winterbrook
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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, generally the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access

Questions from Winterbrook
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
