DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Bath repair in Battledown without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Same prices wherever you are
- Typically one visit, start to finish
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Landlord and trade work in Battledown
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When to call us in Battledown
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
