DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Bath repair at your home in Gairneybridge
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We are frequently asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and chips on the rim or sides, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Gairneybridge. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Questions from Gairneybridge
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you cover Gairneybridge?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Gairneybridge from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Gairneybridge?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price

- Damage beneath the taps

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
