About our bath repair in Duckhole
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
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. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Repairs by material
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.
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.
What we’re called out for in Duckhole
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Duckhole questions
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across South Gloucestershire.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Duckhole
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Duckhole. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
