Our bath repair service in OX16

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and a cracked acrylic bath, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
We clean, key and degrease the damage.
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 day after.

What it costs in OX16

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Around Banbury

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Saint Paul's, People's Park and St Mary's Church of England Primary School, among other places. You’ll also find English Language Training (0.5 miles south-east), Duke of Wellington pub (under half a mile north) and Banbury Academy (0.9 miles south). Banbury’s nearest station is Banbury station, roughly 0.8 miles east. Other landmarks nearby include Castle Quay Shopping Centre (0.5 miles east) and Banbury Castle (0.5 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Crouch Hill and Farthinghoe Nature Reserve.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Do not leave a fresh chip for long

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

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

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Signs you need bath repair

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

Chips along the edge of the bath
Holes from dropped items
Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What affects the price in OX16

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to OX16. The price depends on:

What the surface is made of
What kind of damage it is
How hard the colour is to match
Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A wider photo showing the entire bath
A close-up of the damage, in focus
Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Questions from OX16

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes OX16. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
