How we handle bath repair in Coleford
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and impact holes in acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repairing versus replacing in Coleford
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Coleford. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we’re called out for in Coleford
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price covers travel
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Questions from Coleford
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What do you need from me?

How it works

- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
