Bath Repair for Upleadon homes
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Upleadon, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
About our bath repair in Upleadon
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and a hole punched through by something heavy.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Upleadon questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Are there extra charges for Upleadon?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Signs you need bath repair in Upleadon
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
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 matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
