Advice
About our bath repair in Upper Loads
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for a chipped rim or side and holes from dropped items, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What affects the price in Upper Loads
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Landlord and trade work in Upper Loads
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair

Your questions about bath repair in Upper Loads
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Upper Loads?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
When to call us in Upper Loads
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
