Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How we handle bath repair in Wytham

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about rust spots around the plughole and chips caused by builders.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Signs you need bath repair in Wytham

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your OX2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Wytham

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

How much does bath repair cost in Wytham?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wytham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
