Trusted bath repair in Dursley Cross

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Dursley Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Bath repair in Dursley Cross, done in place

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We’re often asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we’re called out for in Dursley Cross

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • A cracked acrylic bath

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel

Dursley Cross questions

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

How much does bath repair cost in Dursley Cross?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
