FAQs for Coleford Water
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What areas do you cover?
All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Signs you need bath repair in Coleford Water
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

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
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
