Can I fix it myself?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Bath repair in Gaulby, done in place
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about impact holes in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LE7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Gaulby: your questions answered
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Do you cover Gaulby?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Gaulby. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gaulby
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
