About our bath repair in Sundayshill
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is 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 damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and impact holes in acrylic, we can usually put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sundayshill. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Sundayshill: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Sundayshill and the rest of Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Do you need bath repair in Sundayshill?
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
What to look for in a quote

- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What else we do in Sundayshill
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
