Bath chip & crack repair in Elmbridge, Gloucestershire
Damaged bath in Elmbridge? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Holes from dropped items
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
About our bath repair in Elmbridge
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or sides and snagging damage from a refit, we can normally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Your questions about bath repair in Elmbridge
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
