Questions from Gamblesby
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How much does bath repair cost in Gamblesby?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you cover Gamblesby?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gamblesby. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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 next day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Gamblesby
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Normally one visit, start to finish
