About our bath repair in Oldbury-on-the-Hill
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include chips along the edge of the bath and a hole punched through by something heavy, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Oldbury-on-the-Hill and across South Gloucestershire.

FAQs for Oldbury-on-the-Hill
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most clients in Oldbury-on-the-Hill get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- 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.
