Bath chip & crack repair in Uckington, Gloucestershire
Fixed-price bath repair in Uckington and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A chip where the taps sit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Bath repair in Uckington, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Your questions about bath repair in Uckington
Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you come to Uckington?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Uckington. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour mixed on the day to match

What else we do in Uckington
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Uckington get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Signs you need bath repair in Uckington
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
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 normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
