Our bath repair service in OL9
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks in an acrylic bath and damage beneath the taps.
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is.
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in OL9, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Your questions about bath repair in OL9
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Are there extra charges for OL9?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
How do I get a price for bath repair in OL9?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
