Common questions in Forthampton
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Forthampton and the rest of Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
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.
How much does bath repair cost in Forthampton?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your GL19 postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts 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.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
