How we handle bath repair in Hunts Grove
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Repairing versus replacing in Hunts Grove
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

FAQs for Hunts Grove
Is it OK to have pets in the house?

What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What affects the price in Hunts Grove
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

Landlord and trade work in Hunts Grove
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Common problems we fix in Hunts Grove
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips under the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips caused by builders

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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 following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
