Bath repair at your home in Elton
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and a chipped rim or side, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Elton and across Gloucestershire.

Elton questions
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently 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. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Landlord and trade work in Elton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Elton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Do you need bath repair in Elton?

- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
