For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Bath repair at your home in Whaddon
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and chips caused by builders, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Common questions in Whaddon
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Signs you need bath repair in Whaddon
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Whaddon, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
