You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides

- Chips caused by builders

How we handle bath repair in Gelli-deg
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and a chipped rim or side.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it 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 typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
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.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gelli-deg. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Landlord and trade work in Gelli-deg
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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 day after.
