About our bath repair in Duntisbourne Leer
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Duntisbourne Leer and across Gloucestershire.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A chipped rim or side

What affects the price in Duntisbourne Leer
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Most customers in Duntisbourne Leer get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
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 we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Duntisbourne Leer
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
