How bath repair works in OX11
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We are often asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Signs you need bath repair
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips under the taps
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to OX11. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for OX11. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
