Bath repair in Fairview without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and chips along the edge of the bath, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Your questions about bath repair in Fairview
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fairview use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
What we are called out for in Fairview
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Comparing quotes
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Fairview. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
