About our bath repair in Wolvercote
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about holes from dropped items and cracks in an acrylic bath.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Wolvercote and across Oxfordshire.

Wolvercote questions
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
How much does bath repair cost in Wolvercote?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

What else we do in Wolvercote
What affects the price in Wolvercote
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Wolvercote. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Do you need bath repair in Wolvercote?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: 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.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
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
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
