About our bath repair in Gamlingay
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and snagging damage from a refit, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gamlingay as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Do you need bath repair in Gamlingay?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Landlord and trade work in Gamlingay
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gamlingay as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Gamlingay: your questions answered
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you cover the whole of Central Bedfordshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Gamlingay included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover Gamlingay?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Gamlingay from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
