Landlord and trade work in Upper Eastwood
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Eastwood use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Bath repair in Upper Eastwood without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are impact holes in acrylic and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
Common problems we fix in Upper Eastwood
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through

FAQs for Upper Eastwood
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Upper Eastwood?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- 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.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
