Bath repair in Brookthorpe without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the day after. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and chips under the taps.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
FAQs for Brookthorpe
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
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 with your GL4 postcode.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Signs you need bath repair in Brookthorpe
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole

Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- Typically one visit, start to finish

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Brookthorpe
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
