Book bath repair in Gaddesby

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Bath repair in Gaddesby, done in place

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with damage beneath the taps and chips on the rim or sides, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK

Landlord and trade work in Gaddesby

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When to call us in Gaddesby

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Before you book anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

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?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Gaddesby

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Your questions about bath repair in Gaddesby

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

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.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
