Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Andoversford questions
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you cover the entire of Gloucestershire?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When to call us in Andoversford
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before booking anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through

A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
