When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
How we handle bath repair in Wanswell
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or sides and chips caused by builders.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What affects the price in Wanswell
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Wanswell. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
FAQs for Wanswell
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?
We cover the entire UK, including Wanswell and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Do you need bath repair in Wanswell?
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Holes from dropped items
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
