About our bath repair in Moreland

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

When to call us in Moreland

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Your questions about bath repair in Moreland

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Moreland

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
