Bath chip & crack repair in Gateside, North Ayrshire
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths at your home in Gateside, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit
How we handle bath repair in Gateside
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and chips caused by builders, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

What affects the price in Gateside
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Gateside. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gateside as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gateside. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Same prices wherever you are

Gateside questions
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Gateside is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
