Bath repair across GL8: what to expect
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We’re often asked to fix holes from dropped items and snagging damage from a refit, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Pricing in GL8

Near you in Tetbury
Typical jobs here are in homes near St Mary's Church of England VA Primary School, St Saviour's Church and The Greyhound pub, among other places. Nearby you’ll also find Tetbury Camp (0.5 miles south) and Tetbury Hospital (0.5 miles south-east).
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What affects the price in GL8
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your GL8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in GL8
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Common reasons people in GL8 contact us include:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Questions from GL8
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
