About our bath repair in Gateacre
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we’re called out for in Gateacre
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Gateacre
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Gateacre. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
Most clients in Gateacre get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Gateacre questions
How do I get a price for bath repair in Gateacre?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your L25 postcode.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
