How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

About our bath repair in Upper Soudley

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We’re frequently asked to fix damage beneath the taps and rust spots around the plughole, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Common problems we fix in Upper Soudley

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Common questions in Upper Soudley

When can I have a bath again?

Usually within a day, depending on the repair.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you come to Upper Soudley?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Upper Soudley and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your GL14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your photos
