Your questions about bath repair in Bondend
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Bondend and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Bath repair in Bondend without replacing anything
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. If you’re dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can typically put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Do you need bath repair in Bondend?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Landlord and trade work in Bondend
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
If you are in Bondend and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bondend. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
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.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: 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. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
