Questions from Little Washbourne
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Little Washbourne?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GL20 postcode.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Washbourne use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For anyone letting property in or around Little Washbourne, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
For a price in Little Washbourne, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
