Bath chip & crack repair in Lime Street, Gloucestershire

- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips under the taps
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath repair in Lime Street, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Signs you need bath repair in Lime Street

Common questions in Lime Street
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Lime Street
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No need to remove anything
