Bath chip & crack repair in Kingsholm, Gloucestershire
Fixed-price bath repair in Kingsholm and the surrounding area, normally in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips under the taps
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Bath repair in Kingsholm without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We’re frequently asked to fix rust by the waste and overflow and impact holes in acrylic, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Letting agents frequently 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.

Your questions about bath repair in Kingsholm
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you come to Kingsholm?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Kingsholm from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kingsholm. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- No extra charge for your area
- One visit for most repairs
- No need to remove anything
