Bath repair in Gedling without replacing anything

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips under the taps and rusty patches near the plughole.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A steel bath rusted through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Gedling

  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What affects the price in Gedling

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gedling. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Gedling

Do you work in Gedling?

We do. Technicians travel to Gedling from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Gedling, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
