Bath Repair in Gloucester
Bath repair in Gloucester without the cost of replacing. Get a fixed price from your pictures, then we come to you.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips under the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Bath repair in Gloucester without replacing anything
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can typically put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Gloucester questions
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Gloucester
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
