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. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath repair in Hardwicke
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
How much does bath repair cost in Hardwicke?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?
We cover the entire UK, including Hardwicke and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hardwicke. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in Hardwicke get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
Common problems we fix in Hardwicke
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hardwicke as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
