Bath chip & crack repair in Coldharbour, Gloucestershire
Our technicians come to Coldharbour for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rust spots around the plughole
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Bath repair in Coldharbour without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Work done at your home or business

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through

Your questions about bath repair in Coldharbour
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
