Bath repair at your home in OX18
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
What you’ll pay
Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for OX18. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we are called out for in OX18
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What affects the price in OX18
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to OX18. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
