Bath repair at your home in Gaston Green
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. We are frequently asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
What you get with us

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Your questions about bath repair in Gaston Green
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gaston Green
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gaston Green use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we are called out for in Gaston Green
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Gaston Green. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
