Bath chip & crack repair in Horsley, Gloucestershire
Problem with your bath in Horsley? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage beneath the taps
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Bath repair in Horsley, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Horsley: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Horsley.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Horsley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Horsley
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Repairing versus replacing in Horsley
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
