How we handle bath repair in Nupdown
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. If you’re dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in South Gloucestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Nupdown, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
What affects the price in Nupdown
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel

Should you replace it?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Nothing taken out or refitted
