Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gloucestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Bath repair in Owlpen, done in place
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Owlpen. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that is 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 repair

Common problems we fix in Owlpen
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Questions from Owlpen
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?
We cover the whole UK, including Owlpen and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
