Bath chip & crack repair in Upper Framilode, Gloucestershire
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Upper Framilode, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
How we handle bath repair in Upper Framilode
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and a chip where the taps sit, we can typically put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we’re called out for in Upper Framilode
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Upper Framilode. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Your questions about bath repair in Upper Framilode
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you cover Upper Framilode?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Upper Framilode. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Upper Framilode is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Normally one visit, start to finish
