About our bath repair in Witney
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, typically in a single visit.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace in Witney?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Witney. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What your bath is made of matters
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, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
