How bath repair works in OX15

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Cost

Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Local landmarks in Bloxham

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Church of St Mary, Bloxham Church of England Primary School and The Warriner School and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Banbury station, about 3.5 miles north-east.

For a walk, there’s Crouch Hill and Woodford Bottom and Lamb's Pool.

Common problems we fix in OX15

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Common reasons people in OX15 contact us are:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

What affects the price in OX15

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit.

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What preparation is included

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Common questions in OX15

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you cover OX15?

We do. We send a technician to OX15 for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
