About bath repair in OX25
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, typically in a single visit. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about holes from dropped items and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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 will pay
Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why choose Surface Doctor
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Work done at your home or business
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Landmarks near Upper Heyford
We visit homes around Heyford Park Chapel and Barley Mow pub and the streets around them. Upper Heyford’s nearest station is Heyford station, about 1.8 miles west of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Bicester Community Hospital (4.8 miles south-east) and Ardley Castle (2 miles north-east).
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we’re called out for in OX25
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Common questions in OX25
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do you come to OX25?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to OX25. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including OX25 and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in OX25.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
