About our bath repair in Tewkesbury
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the following day. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and holes from dropped items.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Most customers in Tewkesbury get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Tewkesbury
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Tewkesbury questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
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.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
When to call us in Tewkesbury
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage beneath the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
