When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

How we handle bath repair in Gawcott
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about impact holes in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, removing 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. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Everything repaired in place

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Do you need bath repair in Gawcott?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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 fails, we can still put it right.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Gawcott questions
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you come to Gawcott?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gawcott for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover the whole of Buckinghamshire?
Across the UK, and that includes Gawcott. Prices do not change with location.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
