About bath repair in OX3
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Common call-outs are for a chipped rim or side and a hole punched through by something heavy, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, 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.
FAQs for OX3
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
