We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and a cracked acrylic bath.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Whaddon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When to call us in Whaddon
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Whaddon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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 pictures, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Whaddon questions
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you cover the entire of Gloucestershire?
We cover the whole UK, including Whaddon and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Are there extra charges for Whaddon?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
