How we handle bath repair in Gadlys
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips on the rim or sides.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gadlys. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any details about the material
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. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Your questions about bath repair in Gadlys
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What else we do in Gadlys
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gadlys
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
If you manage property in Gadlys, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
