Bath repair in Coleford, done in place
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Common problems we fix in Coleford
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Holes from dropped items
- A chipped rim or side
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Coleford, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Your questions about bath repair in Coleford
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
