Bath repair in Kingscote, done in place
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. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Questions from Kingscote
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you cover the entire of Gloucestershire?
The whole UK, including all of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you need bath repair in Kingscote?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
- A chipped rim or side
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Different materials, different repairs
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 is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kingscote. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- No need to remove anything

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Kingscote
Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
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.
