About our bath repair in Gayton
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we’re called out for in Gayton
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips under the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides

Questions from Gayton
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
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.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or 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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What else we do in Gayton
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
