How we handle bath repair in Upper Siddington

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common questions in Upper Siddington

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally within a day, depending on the repair.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your GL7 postcode.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Common problems we fix in Upper Siddington

Baths take more knocks than people expect: 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.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Before booking anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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 a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Siddington use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
