About our bath repair in Slad
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and snagging damage from a refit, we can generally put it right, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Slad and across Gloucestershire.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.

Your questions about bath repair in Slad
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Slad?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Slad from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Slad. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
If you are in Slad and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

When to call us in Slad
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Impact holes in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
