Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Winchcombe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can

Advice
What affects the price in Winchcombe
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
