How we handle bath repair in Gayton
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can usually put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gayton as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
- Store metal items away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
What else we do in Gayton
Common questions in Gayton
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gayton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t 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 reply with a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in Gayton
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
