Bath and surface repairs in OX14

Bath repair across OX14: what to expect

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and rust by the waste and overflow, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

• The colour and finish to match
• How many items we do on one visit
• Any earlier repairs that need removing first
• What kind of damage it is

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

• A picture taken from further back
• A close-up of the damage, in focus
• What it’s made of, if you know
• A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in OX14, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

• Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
• Store metal items away from the bath
• Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
• Have new chips seen to early

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
